Retreat to St. Michael's
Two weekends ago, we left the house behind to attend the wedding of some family members in the town of St. Michaels, Maryland. The place just oozed charming. So, we got a few shots of eye candy in and among the walkabouts and steamed crab. Many colonial, federal and Victorian houses with a couple of bungalows thrown in.
This little orange tabby cat has found himself a lovely porch to perch on.
I must remember to ask Kurt about this plant...
I rarely see second story bungalow windows of leaded glass...these are beautiful. And that black accent trim really made the house look handsome.
More pretty Chesapeake bungalows.
I haven't seen an old fashioned window well screen for a LONG time.
Finally, a picture of our little Chesapeake crab to keep the grandparents happy :)

That's a hyacinth bean or Lab-lab -- wonderful annual climber, though the purple beans are not edible. Looks terrific on a bungalow trellis, and will cover a three-foot wall in less than two (summer)months. You might need to start them indoors where y'all live. Here in Virginia we put beans in the ground in May.

We went to St Michael's for our last pre-baby getaway in August 2004. It's such a darling town, I'd love to get back there.
