DECEMBER BEACH WALK, et al

 

Looking out from beneath the railroad tunnel onto our beach....

Brilliant sunshine blinds me, but my little phone camera

captures the view beautifully anyway....

serendipity...;))))

Storms have washed a lot of seaweed up on the

shoreline in long curved swathes...

In the distance you can just make out

geese swimming while honking loudly.

We haven't been down here all Summer long; 

in fact it's been way too long....

This walk in requires that my back is 

in good shape; a friend tells me that just

beside the tunnel is a bench for

sitting; and so, I am able to make

the trek....

I walk the shore once with Tom and then sit

gazing out to sea and smelling that wonderful

salty air while he does his three tours....

The bright sunshine keeps me warm....

There is just something about the ocean

that is so calming....

*********************************

I hung up my JOY banner in

our little entrance hallway

yesterday....

I had such fun putting this together...

I used up most of my mini charms

on it...my morning walk has given

me 

JOY...

My Grand-mere crocheted the lace

across the  top and 

I collected the 

driftwood and shells...

The reverse fabric is an old fashioned winter

scene that reminds us of old 

Currier and Ives prints.  

I will turn it over for the days after

Christmas until the first 

daffodils emerge in the Spring..

I hope JOY has visited you today...

Hugs, 

Julierose,
