I am titling this post “winter hikes” not winter walks, because the place on Cape Cod we’ve most recently explored has offered a much more rigorous workout than our previous walks. This walk was yet another one we found in The Nature of Cape Cod by Beth Schwarzman; I am honestly not sure how we’ve […]

How My Pet Helps Me See The Wilderness in My Cape Cod Backyard
Posted in Fauna, Guest blogger, Interesting on October 17, 2016 | Leave a Comment »
We recently got a new pet, and he is far more interested in animals than our previous pet was. We don’t let him run around the yard without a leash with concern that he would devastate the wildlife we are trying to cultivate (or become a victim of wildlife himself). However his keen eyesight and interest […]
Winter Walks on Cape Cod: Upper Cape and Mid-Cape
Posted in Fauna, Flora, Guest blogger, Rants & Raves on May 15, 2016 | Leave a Comment »
Unfortunately, as time would have it, we were able to do very few winter walks on Cape Cod this year. We were able, however, to see a few new sites and revisit some of our old favorites. Our goal this year was to check out some of the areas on the Upper Cape, as we […]
Grassy Goodness

We talk a lot about the beauty of native plants we’re cultivating in our yard, but recently I have read evidence that our yard may be positively affecting the lack of discomfort we’re enjoying during some of the more sweltering summer days. We have enjoyed a seventh summer without the expense of air conditioning, all thanks to […]
Frost Fish Creek Trail in Chatham
Posted in Fauna, Flora, Guest blogger, Interesting, Invasive, Rants & Raves on December 31, 2014 | 1 Comment »
On the day after Christmas we decided to explore a new trail, this time in Chatham. Our plan was to drive to the trail, hike it for an hour or so, and then grab lunch at one of our favorite restaurants in town. I had Googled “hiking trails in Chatham” and picked the “Frost Fish […]
Fall Walks on Cape Cod: Pilgrim Heights in Truro
Posted in Fauna, Flora, Guest blogger, Interesting on November 29, 2014 | Leave a Comment »
On the day after Thanksgiving we treated ourselves to some travel to the Outer Cape. It was an interesting way to see how radically the weather differs from one end of Cape Cod to the other in the space of an hour or two, as Truro had thick snow and icy roads while Yarmouth and […]
Impressions

I wanted to write a little about our Cape Cod summer and document yet another season gone by. I did not know in May how cool this summer would be; in many ways I did not mind being spared from oppressively hot days. It was so cool that we barely used fans, forget air conditioning […]
Spring Finally Returns on Cape Cod
Posted in Fauna, Guest blogger, Interesting, tagged Events on May 18, 2014 | Leave a Comment »
Looking back at posts from the past few years that were written around this time, I am seeing some slight differences in the patterns of the critters that live around our Cape Cod home. I usually get large black ants running around my kitchen for several days in late April. Then these ants suddenly disappear. […]
Keep Clam and Carry On

This fall season has been excellent for clamming and oystering on Cape Cod. However, the usual Linguini with Clams and Clam Chowder had been served in our kitchen quite enough and needed some spicing up. Luckily for us, a restaurant we frequent serves something like this excellent dish that follows. Although I had an inkling of the ingredients, […]
Captured

As another blog post declared, it has definitely been a year of firsts for us here at Cape Cod Woodland Garden blog. Much of the nature we have experienced over the past year here on Cape Cod has had me running for the guide books. Chuck here appeared sometime this spring and at first I had no idea what he […]
