 The concept of forest bathing grew out of a practice in Japan called Shinrin-yoku that spread to China and Korea and now to the United States. It is about swimming in the living being of the forest: drinking in the smells, feeling the breeze on your skin, hearing it move through the trees, soaking up the warm healing rays of the sun and touching the earth with awareness. The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History gives you a very special opportunity to deepen your relationship with nature because of the unique environment provided by marsh, creek, forest, dunes and beach. Join Field Guide Carol Marcy on a guided walk where you will be shown how to pay attention in a new way that will create a sense of greater health, well-being and appreciation of the beauty in you and around you.

 There is nothing like roasting s'mores over a fire pit under the stars on a summer Cape night after a day at the beach or the lake. Gathering around a fire to tell stories, eat and the primal need for light, warmth and company after dark is in our DNA. Creating a fire pit is both easy to do and harder than you think to make. We just built one at Summer Pines Cottage and I thought it might interest some reader to see the process in this slide show below.  There is nothing like seeing live theater on the Cape during the summer, and the perfect place to do it is The Cape Playhouse in Dennis! This June, the playhouse is putting on The Importance of Being Ernest - one of my favorite plays. Oscar Wilde’s wildly entertaining comedy sparkles with dazzling wordplay and hilariously unlikely situations. This “trivial comedy for serious people” features two carefree bachelors, Jack and Algernon, each with a carefully hidden double life. But when Algernon discovers that Jack has been posing as a man named Ernest to escape to the city, he promptly travels to Jack’s country estate to pose as the fictional figure himself! Silliness ensues with whimsical ingénues, jealous fiancées, indomitable dowagers, and the most famous handbag in theatre history.
The play runs June 12-22 and you can see more at The Cape Playhouse "WALK THE BEACH. WATCH THE STARS.There is magic here at night. Go to a local beach by day, and get dressed up and enjoy the enchanting grounds at night."  Here is something different to do for Mother's Day on the Cape - take her for a ride on the train! Cape Cod Central Railroad is offering a three course Mother's Day Brunch on the train as she takes in beautiful scenery out the window. Guests depart the mid-Cape in Hyannis, travel through West Barnstable and Sandwich and down to the Cape Cod Canal. On the way, they travel through sand dunes and salt marshes, see glimpses of the bay and have the opportunity to enjoy parts of Cape Cod that are only accessible by rail.
Summer Pines Cottage has Mother's Day weekend still available, a stay at our sweet cottage along with this Cape Cod train ride and brunch is a unique way to show mom how much you love her and the Cape!  One of our favorite things to do on the Cape every year is visit the growing number of beer and wine companies that have launched around the Mid Cape in the past few years. Many of them are a location in themselves with tasting rooms, patios, games, bring your own picnic areas and live music. Here are some of our favorites ~ enjoy!
