Fun In Our Backyard

Low tide today, down on our shore.

There are plenty of places to just sit and take in the scenery here.

Today, I discovered a sea lavender plant that I did not realize we even had.

We sat and watched a clammer hard at work across the cove from us.

No gym membership required with a job like this.

The gulls were all hanging out waiting for low tide too, lots of food for them here.

We are fortunate to have many blackberry plants along the path down to our shore.

Henri sure is a fast blackberry picker, but I can guarantee there are insects, twigs and over ripe ones in his bowl. My job will be to clean them up and sort them out. Of course I will be forced to eat all the over ripened ones too!

Since the path down to our shore is steep, Henri put in a rope for us to use to pull ourselves back up with (and to hang on to when we're descending too.)

He's clever like that with rope. Any place we've ever lived, he's always put in a swing too. We have two of them in our backyard right now.

I hope I always feel young enough to swing.

Doesn't the sight of any empty swing just make you happy?

Unless of course it's empty because someone just fell off. Which thankfully was not the case today!
