Saturday Morning

Well March is about half way gone and before we know it June will be here and we will be packing for the cabin. I'm ready and getting excited just thinking about the mountains once again although I will miss everyone here and my garden.

We got back from Brandon around 9'ish and got ready to head out to the beach with Amy, Sam and Eliza. We picked them up around 10:30 after I hand watered my garden and headed out. The beach was perfect with just enough of a breeze to keep the boiling heat from cooking you. The water was cold to touch but once I got in, it was perfect for a good swim. The kiddos wanted me to bury them up to their necks in the sand and they really enjoyed that and then we took a hike up the beach. Eliza and Sam were having so much fun skipping and jumping on the sand and into the water and chasing the huge flocks of birds. We stopped at the Seabird Sanctuary and looked at the owls, hawks, pelicans and vultures when a small bird in one of the shade trees pooped on Eliza's head. Thankfully there was a water spigot right there and I washed it off but she was ready to go right away. We all had a laugh about her getting pooped on.

We dropped them off a little after 1 then headed home. I piddled around in the gardens after a lunch of salad and then took a little nap trying to catch up on the nights sleep I missed in Brandon. I forgot my ear plugs and along with a strange bed I didn't get any sleep so the nap was nice. We heated up leftovers for supper then I headed out to mow the yards and fertilize them as the forecast is for some rain over the weekend and the temps to drop into the 70's, yeow. I worked outside until 8'ish and watched a little of the FOX Cable News then hit the showers. It was close to 9:30 and I must have fallen asleep watching the news when Nancy woke me up so I hit the sack for good.

It was 8 this morning when I woke up, wow that is a first in many years and it felt so good, LATER
