a couple of hours of paradise

We saw the coolest dead tree on our way to (and from) paradise today. Full (well 10 full) of Turkey Vultures. No camera to hand so had to use the camera in the phone. Apologies. But worth posting anyhow.

onto paradise - aka Point Petre ...

At the end of the county there is a little spot known as Point Petre.


Point Petre is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been in the world. And I've been lucky enough to be on some beautiful beaches in my life - in Australia, all around the Chesapeake Bay, Southern France, Dover, Hawaii, California, Florida ... Point Petre can match them all.



We took Sally, Sampson and Brody to the point today. A little piece of heaven right here. Except the camera batteries died. So the picture is from a previous trip when the lake was quiet. Today was lovely- moderate waves crashing around; nice and warm. dogs swam and ran and splashed. We did the same thing. Nice not to be weeding, cleaning rabbits and otherwise trying to work in this heat.

well the garlic's not planted

but we went for a long walk on a new beach with the puppy and Sally ... did you even know we have a puppy? We do - Sampson is ours now - pretty offically .. he seems to be fitting in pretty well although he is an assertive boy ...

and I loved on animals all weekend - and rested - good heavens I was TIRED this week ... emotional stress does that I guess.

we have had foster animals come in and find homes too (YAY) and have a couple more coming this week - 2 unrelated kittens who need crate rest ... maybe one will be a forever friend for little Rumour (who isn't so little anymore - she's being spayed tomorrow). That's Delilah the Siamese gracing the start of the blog - she's gotten a bite bad enough to break a hind leg. She'll require ortho surgery and a long rest to get back on four paws . She's gonna be one expensive kitty!

maybe the garlic will get planted next weekend ...

new to me computer

means access to some as yet unposted pictures

here is my favourite picture of a typical sunset .. taken from right behind the schoolhouse



my favourite local beach walk - often this quiet at any time and maybe 10 minutes away if I putter along the road




and finally the schoolhouse itself .. the scene of much learning, loving and laughing



more pictures over the next few days ...
