1. Trip to Duluth to the Tall Ship Festival.
Tall Ship and Lighthouse in the harbor
Under the Lift Bridge
2. Two nights at the Poplar Creek B&B on the Gun Flint Trail in Superior National Forest in Northern MN. Mother's Day gift from my girls.
Miss Barbara, our gracious hostess and cook
Breakfast first course. Fresh fruit with maple flavored yogurt. Yum
3. Since I got back I've done a little weeding in this section of my garden and planted some grasses. I need to get some perennials to plant in front of the grass.
Before
After
4) Have worked at getting a few things ready for my space at Ade's Attic.
5. I've been reading the book Rigged for Murder by Jenifer LeClair. She is a Minnesota native now living in Maine. She was at the Tall Ship Festival selling her book. A good murder mystery aboard a large sail boat.
I'll be joining Nancy at A Rural Journal for Random 5 Friday. Why not stop by and see what random facts other folks are sharing,
I hope you all have a great weekend and I'll be back soon to visit you and show you many, many photos of my vacation. Until then...
Barb

I love when the tall ships come in to port. You have some great captures.
amazing pictures! I LOVE the tall ships and harbor pics. We don't see that sort of thing on the west coast. Classic and beautiful! Happy that I found your blog.
Oh gosh, I would love to see the ships. I'm glad you have had a fun month- take care!
Weren't you so excited when you got that first shot of that ship??? That is so nautical! :) Love the picture!!!!
That is a beautiful ship! Love your photos, Barb, and it's good to read what you've been up to. Glad you've been having fun!
Olá Barb, absolutamente maravilhsosas as fotos do seus passeios de Verão. Sim. Passa muito rapidamente. O farol é lindo, a casa onde esteve de férias uma ternura. E o seu jardim adorável. Gostava de ter um bem pequenino asim:))! Abraços Ailime
Canal Park & the Gunflint are some of our favorite places!
We've spent quite a bit of time in and around the Superior National FOrest, too. I've never gone for the tall ships, one of these years we'll do it. Love the photos!
Ooo! The bed and breakfast and Tall Ship Festival sound fabulous. :)
And the murder mystery is just my thing. I'll have to look for it!
I love the Tall Ships coming into the harbour, and the B&B looked fabulous, your host and chef quite delightful-breakfast plate wasn't that shabby either.
you've been having fun - and i'm glad. :)
I'm so glad you've been able to get out and have some fun. Love all your photos and can't wait to see more!
what a thoughtful gift from your daughters!
Nice to see a post from you,
Barb. Those look like the same tall ships that come to my town.
It sounds like you are having a good summer!
You've been having some good times it looks like! What gorgeous pictures of the water and the tall boats. The blues are simply scrumptious. Now I'm wondering about this book of yours and the other one you were telling me about...The Hungry Ocean...must keep an eye out for that. Seems a visit to the library is in order.
Love those photos of the water and the tall ship, Barb! Glad you got to enjoy some R&R at the B&B, too! The garden looks great and that little chair is just so cute - wish I lived near you. Hugs, xo
Oh Barb it looks like it was glorious that break of yours. Hug B
Those ships are beautiful!
It's good to see you posting again...I am very glad you have had a wonderful summer and it certainly looks like you have had lots of adventures.....
Looks like you have been enjoying yourself and getting a bit done. Was glad to see this post...I would love to see the tall ships.
Barb, it's great to see your blogpost today. You have been busy which is a good thing. Love the furniture for your shop space. Enjoy the rest of your summer and blog break. Blessings. Pam
What an amazing thing to see the tall ships come in to port, and what a lovely B and B gift! Bet that was fun!
Nice to see you again - I missed your posts.
You've been to some fun places! Love the ship and the bridge! Glad you're having a good summer.
What sweet girls to give you a little time away in such a charming place. Well deserved, I'd say.
Has it been a month already? Geez. So glad you are back though. Missed you!
Thanks for sharing at R5F this week Barb. xo
Hi Barb, I love your tall ship photo! I am glad you had some fun time away, the B&B sounds wonderful. I am happy you are back, enjoy your week ahead! BTW, thanks for the visit and comment.
The Tall Ships come here too. They are Magnificent. It looks like you have been having a grand time. See ya later. MB
Looks like a fabulous vacation so far!
good to see you back Barbara; but I know that the commitment to blogging can sometimes over-rule our heads. Stepping back when it's needed is the right thing to do. Isn't it funny how you miss it though? Lovely photos you've shared and great meals, and garden shots too
It looks as though you've been having a fabulous summer! I'm going to look up that book - I love a good murder mystery!
Sounds like you've had a wonderful break this summer! Maple flavored yogurt sounds amazing...
Welcome back friend. I love the bed and breakfast - what a lovely gift from your girls. Thanks, too for the book info. I love mysteries.
Love that first shot!
We saw a parade of tall ships in Norfolk, VA many years ago. It was fascinating.
Such a quaint looking B&B and the table setting is lovely. I would feel very pampered. I bet that's just what your girls wanted. :)
So glad that you are totally enjoying your summer. I just saw the Tall Ships here in Chicago this past weekend. I bet that B&B was wonderful!!
You have been relaxing, visiting, and eating well. It's been raining here and I am so behind in my garden as to never catch up. Have some more fun please, Olive
Great post Barb! Those tall ships are quite incredible, aren't they? I love the shot with the lighthouse!
It sounds like you had a great break.
