Adirondack Chairs and Queen Anne's Lace

Early morning is a good time to sit "down below" in the Adirondack chairs. The gentle breeze and the sound of insects are good backdrops to a warm cup of coffee. The sunrise over the dune behind the cottage warms the day.


Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus carota) is in full bloom during the month of August. It's also referred to as Wild Carrot or Bishop's Lace. The British refer to it as Bird's Nest.
