ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SISTER DAY

My sisters and I are blessed to live close enough to one another that we can spend some wonderful time together. We occasionally drive to a beach not too far away that is actually quite secluded. We walk in the wave washed gravel looking for agates, jade or whatever strikes our fancy, but ostly we just enjoy having time together. I thank God for them and the precious time He allows us.

This shot is looking west, up the beach. Many years ago Native Americans were here. I always hope to find an artifact.

I was surprised to see this pretty leafed plant growing in the crevice of a wave washed piece of driftwood among the smoothed pebbles. This is salt water.

This Cave Of Treasures makes me think of all the treasures our Heavenly Father has for us. We only need to open our eyes to see them, shaken down and spilling over. We have a generous Lord!

It had been raining so the beach was wet and everything was more defined. I was fascinated with the grain in this piece of wood. I can imagine that some woodcarver would enjoy creating something out of it. I wonder what would cause a tree to grow in such an interesting way. It looks like it was confused and didn't know which way to go.

YES!!! Spring his happening here and I am so happy about it. Winters seem much too long for me. I was delighted to see these pussy willows. They had rain drops on their fuzzy coats but still, The Pussy willows are out!

When I was a little girl, my mother told me that if I put some in the oven of our old wood cook stove before I went to bed, they wold be cute little kitties in the morning. It didn't work and I was very disappointed. She said maybe the oven wasn't hot enough but I was afraid if it had been any hotter it would have cooked the poor little kittens. LOL

She also told me that if I could sprinkle salt on a birds tail I could catch it.

She must have laughed her head off watching me chase birds all over the yard.

Did I tell you that mother was part Irish and Scottish? She had quite a sense of humor.

This used to be an old road that went along side the beach but is now just a narrow trail through the tall beach grass, I enjoyed walking it and imagining how many people before me had drove or walked on it as they went to dig clams, have picnic's or just enjoy the beauty of it all as I was doing that day.

The sky was gray that day and even though there was a breeze it wasn't cold at all. I took 100 pictures and whittled them down to about 30 when I got home and viewed them on my computer. The trees are leafless still, but inside those cold, barren branches life is awakening and soon they will be covered with new green leaves, fluttering in the wind, and providing hiding places for the nesting birds. Seasons come and seasons go and there is something good about each of them, but Spring....well it's just special!

I pray you are all having a good week. Please remember our troops and our country in your prayers.

Be Blessed!
