Beach Walk

According to the weather reports on last night's news, it should have been cooler today.  They got it wrong and it was a beautiful day for a walk on the beach.  Mike used to consider this his church.

It was pretty crowded, but as usual, you did not have to walk to far to lose the crowd (and gain some seaweed).

First time I've seen a black skimmer on this beach

A bit of beach erosion going on.

This is the remains of what was once a two lane road.

"I got a fish! I got a fish!"




Christmas is not forgotten at the beach.

But some decorations are more organic than others.

I can see this as church.

    Wow it was crowded! The Christmas decoration on the beach are cool, but that erosion right in their backyards has to worrisome. Great walk!

    That is my kind of church too. It's easy to believe in a higher power when you see the beauty in nature. The eroded two lane highway reminds us we're not in charge.

    Have a great week!

    I agree: church.
    I like the whimsical directional sign. One of our neighbors made one similar for our road. One day I'll take a picture of it and post about it.

    Thanks for the inspiring beach walk. You're inspiring me to head south as "I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky..."

    So can I. Isn't God supposed to be everywhere?

    Nice photos. Yes, that beach is your church.

    I am definitely with Mike on this one. There is something about being at the beach and hearing the waves that is mystical. Glad you got to go for a walk - your beach is always so different from mine, thanks for sharing it.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!
