Down to the shore -- so much to see and do

(I couldn't help noticing these heavily laden women

heading down to the beach for a picnic as I was 

leaving yesterday -- it's a familiar sight.)

Yesterday Steven and I took a long walk on the beach

collecting shells, rocks and pieces of glass.  This always
reminds me of when I was a child at the summer
cottage my parents rented -- how my little brother and I
used to collect acorns.  We used to pull our collections about in the
shallow water in beautiful little toy rowboats someone had
given us. 

Well now Steven and I give each other the collections we
make and laugh as we do.  I always feel that shopping is
redundant here where so many beautiful things are free.

Have an-enjoying-the-earth's bounty day.
