We’ve had three beautiful warm days, with nor’westers, and temperatures over 20 degrees. I even wore sandals today, and when we got to the beach I thought I might paddle – unheard of in August!
However the water was icy cold, so I soon thought better of it.
The beach changes every week. The boardwalk where we climb over the sandhills has been eroded away and last week there was a rope to help people clamber up. I didn’t use it, but I thought what an excellent idea. This week it was gone, with a forlorn notice asking for it to be returned.
Our waterlogged back lawn had dried sufficiently for me to mow it, and I picked a bunch of violets.
Today seems like spring, but tomorrow’s forecast ‘high’ is just ten degrees.
“Enjoy warm sunshine while we may.
Tomorrow is another day.”
Ah the sweetness of violets. 🙂

We had some strong winds – great for drying the washing, but no rain yet.
Violets are amazing the way they spread. I found one flowering on a step where they’ve never been before.

A rope thief??? What is this world coming to? 🙂

it’s sad, but anything that’s not tied down (and some things that are) seems to be considered fair game.

it sort of makes one ponder the question…how does one tie down a rope??? 🙂

Unfortunately it can always be untied.
