Beachcombing Again
Another great day at our favorite beach and more treasures. Today I found several pieces of blue, a small piece of pink, two purple, a couple pieces of pottery and what looks like a handle from a dish. I never get tired of being on a beach.
It was a windy day so the waves were rolling in. Awesome sound...

A Great Day with Giselle
Our friend Giselle is visiting us for the week so we decided to take her on a beachcombing trip downshore to our favorite beach. What a great day for treasures. We found the most number of rare colours of all our beach trips ever!
The orange seaglass is a first find for me for this very rare colour. We also found grey, teal, citron and mauve, along with many small blue pieces.
I even found this interesting piece of white seaglass shaped like a boot.
This is Giselle's total collection for the afternoon, including a rock the shape of a boot.
This is Paul's neatly arranged collection for the day.
And here is my afternoon collection. What great fun.
A friend of ours asked if a bottle factory had exploded at the beach or if we had a glass sniffing dog with us! I think Elaine is due for a trip to our favourite place.
After a long, hot afternoon of strolling the beach, we were ready for a great barbecue meal, which was prepared by three cooks. Notice who is at the table with fork in hand first, all smiles!
After dinner we sat out on the deck being entertained by the Hummingbirds at our feeders.

A Tour of our Yard
Come take a little tour and enjoy the blooms in our garden this week. A lot of my perennials have already bloomed for this year with mostly coneflowers, black-eyed susans and tickseed to see. Because of all the rain this summer, we have a wonderful crop of wildflowers on the perimeter of our yard, which we enjoy.

The Simple Life
About Me

- Now retired, I am enjoying the simple life in northern New Brunswick with Paul. I think my Newfoundland blood brought me back to the ocean. I love to watch the birds at our feeders and walk the beach looking for treasures. We have become snowbirds for winter.
