Hi! Hear that sound? That's Mother Nature and the Weather Bug laughing hysterically....
One of my favorite artist/ writers Susan Branch just did a very charming Summertime post on her blog... All about Island Time/ Beach Time, and how Memorial Day weekend is the first weekend of summer to those of us at the beach.here
For the past couple weeks I've been busily preparing for summer...
I dug out the beach totes. And the hastily stored beach towels. Used them last to mop up H. Sandy flood....
I bought a new beach chair! New flip flops, new sneakers...a few new tank tops and linen capris...J Jill "All You Need for Summer"
Been redoing the house in its summertime blues...
Remember the thrift shop flag sham?
Set up the deck, put out the tikis and Ladybug. [The pots have daylilies until later in June when I plant annuals]....
Here's my seeds started. Herbs, morning glories, sunflowers....
Oh and I put out my flag! My dad made this for me, years ago...
I bought hotdogs and beer! And the beach is ready....
See the lifeguard stands?
But what's wrong with this picture and why is Nature laughing at me?
Note the black clouds and steely grey waves. It is 46 degrees and a 40 mph gale is blowing.
Rain is spitting nastily, with intermittent drenching downpours. I've seen balmier New Years Days! It is freakin' freezing cold! Dug out the sweaters and wellies. Went for a walk.
Just me and my shorebirds.
Glad for one more day, or even two! of solitude...
love
lizzy
