“So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.” – Sylvia Plath
A weekend at the beach. Seems everyone was digging it!
And wanted s’more…
Beach wildlife
Applying great concentration — to crab stare-downs and filling up our bottles.
And we walked away filled up with love.
Surprised By Joy 
A crab stare down should be some sort of vision test or competitive sporting event. Get the gold medals ready, Wynne!

I’m a little anxious, Wynne, that what is being eaten in a previous picture is in fact that crab?!

Ha, ha, ha – roasting crabs over a fire table? Never thought of that. They’d be less sticky than our marshmallows for sure. Are s’mores an English thing too?

Marshmallows and crabs yes; s’mores haven’t made it across the pond.

Weekends at the beach are the best. My daughter once put a message in a bottle and tossed it into the Pacific Ocean. I sometimes wonder if anybody ever found it.
