"Make Way For Ducklings"

We have some new visitors here at the marina...:)

The Sunset, Ruby, and Sagittarius!

Some sunsets you never want to see pass.  Last night's sunset was one of those.  I was sitting on the deck of our boat with my dog, Ruby, and it was silent...I forgot I was in the city!  The peaceful moment was quickly disrupted, however, when my dog caught sight of the cat, named Sagittarius, who lives opposite us. Sagittarius likes to tease Ruby, she has free range of the marina and Ruby does not, and all Ruby can do is growl and "threaten" her.

The Sunset:

"Summertime...Fish Are Jumping"

I'm officially done with my Freshman year of college - how time flies!  Today also marks 10 months that we have lived on the houseboat!

I thought this clip of Billie Holiday singing "Summertime" would be a perfect one to post right now..

I have  met so many wonderful people: at school in Boston and at the marina in Charlestown.  I hope everyone has a memorable, relaxing summer  2012 :)

BTW, Earth Day was last weekend, however, I never posted about it!  I found this quote while driving through my old hometown of Sudbury last weekend.  Pretty on target for a person who lives on a boat, yes?
