From Boston’s Public Garden: The ponds haven’t been filled with water yet, but luckily there was enough for the resident duck population. A boy and his father were having a good time feeding the ducks. Speaking of birds, have you been watching this as much as I have? Absolutely fascinating.
From a cupcake shop on Charles Street: I loved this idea. What kid doesn’t like a cupcake? A whole wall was filled with framed photos of children eating cupcakes.
I had a cupcake and I must be honest. It was too rich. No, you’re not seeing things. It was too rich for me and I had to stop eating it. A cupcake apocalypse?
Remember my post about Moxie?
I spotted this little shop on Charles Street. Excellent name for a shop, don’t you think?
And finally: Bored in my hotel room, I started taking photos of myself in the mirror above the desk.
My hand looks enormous.
Yes, I’m wearing different glasses now. I still have the blue ones, never fear.
I played around a bit in Picnik and used the Cross-Process effect. I kind of like it.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hello Claudia,
Come on now! You look smashing!
Love this pond and the ducks…
Hugs from foggy Toronto.

Picnik is so fun for playing with photos… I do the same.
We have a couple of those fancy cupcake shops here in Roanoke and they are way too rich. Not sure why they think they need to make them so terribly sweet.
DI
too rich? i hate that when they ruin a perfectly good cupcake. my old neighbors license plate read moxie. i always loved it.

Claudia,
There are baby eagles!!! I had not been to this site before. 2 babies! Amazing. Also, great shot in the mirror!

I love watching the eagles- it is fascinating. I love seeing the little ones peek out every so often :) You look beautiful Claudia- I always think pictures of you look like how I imagine you are in real life- calm, peaceful and lovely ♥
PS- A cupcake that is too rich??!! What???!!!! hee hee hee
Your blog is very sweet. Mockingbird Hill is my favorite lullabye- my mother and grandmother sang the song, which is now in my head.
Love your new glasses Claudia! xox
i like it too…you got a lot of moxie….lol
have a good one,
bunny
Good ‘self portrait’. Enjoyed your photos. Agree on the ‘fancy’ cupcakes.

I love the cupcake idea, too! That would be a great thing to do on a wall at your home of family…just using nice black and whites of all the family members and even the pets. I’ll have to remember this. Thanks for sharing. Love your necklace you are wearing in the photo. Have a great weekend, Claudia. xoxo Kim
I’m going to be in Boston the first part of May visiting my brother. Any ideas of places I should visit, he will be working and I believe he has a couple of rehearsal for a concert he’s sing in (don’t have all the details yet). Let know if you have any suggestion. I guess I’ll have to find the cupcake store. susan
Love the photos……….love the new glasses they are very flattering……….cute post.

We have so many cupcake places in San Francisco now. I am loving it!
You look beautiful no matter where you are. Love you,
Mere
Love your potpourri!
Love your new glasses and your self portrait! What a great assortment of photos…….and I have to say, I have never found the cupcake I couldn’t eat cuz it was too rich! ;)
Hope is well with you…..L, Dana
Bored in Boston??? Couldn’t finish a cupcake??? Claudia that just doesn’t sound like you.
Really like the new glasses ‘Miss Sophisticate’.
Hey cute girl…I love the glasses! And so glad you still have your signature blue ones.
I haven’t had a cupcake in sooo long, and no that you have brought them up I will be probably crave them until I bake some…so my husband will be thanking you for this post.
sending hugs
Greetings from Frog Hollow Farm. I love seeing how you spend your days! I’m not a sweet eater as much as FHFB – one bite of most cupcakes is good enough for me. But, give me a bag of potato chips and watch out – there ain’t much sharing going on! I’ve been shoe shopping today – it takes a certain kind of shoe to look good on a size 9 foot! Ciao, bella!
Almost didn’t recognize you without your blue framed glasses! :0)
Such a cute idea to frame kids eating cupcakes!! How about ice cream, too?!?!? Fun idea.
So glad you stopped by for a visit!
Big TX Hugs,

Hi Claudia Sweetie…
A gorgeous share of the pond and the duckies. Looks like the Dad and Son were having a wonderful time there, but it looks SO cold. Yikes…
That cupcake wall is a precious idea. What kid doesn’t love a cupcake. To rich hu? Well send me one, let me test it, and I will let you know. Ha! Ha! I know what you mean, some are so rich they are almost nauseating. Being an insulin diabetic, I cannot eat to much of something really rich.
Love the mirror picture of you sweet Claudia. Beautiful as ever.
Hope you have a glorious weekend. As always I love visiting Mockingbird Hill Cottage. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
HEY GORGEOUS, YOUR LOOKING GOOD. HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOURSELF, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE.
DON’T YOU JUST HATE OVERLY SWEET THINGS…
IT CAN REALLY TURN YOU OFF, OR MAKE YOU SICK. :) LOVE THE WALL WITH THE PICTURES, HAVE A GOOD DAY, RIZZI
nice way to get out of boring times!!! you look so beautiful!!!
hugs
Why Miss Claudia you do look beautiful, I love the new glasses….ha ha… I love that you were stuck eating a cupcake because it was too sweet!!! Always a first!
Love the photo of the Robins and the Cardinal…I don’t think I have ever seen a happier sight!!!! Yeah Spring!
What a gorgeous display of black and white photos…my fav!
Have a lovely day!
Hugs,
Margaret B
