Saturday, at the beach

A few days ago Michael brought home a tub of

"Rum Raisin" ice cream...

but when he went to put it in the freezer

saw there was not enough room...

he deducted there was about one serving left of lime sherbet

and came up with a plan..

he would put the tub of lime sherbet

in the snow bank on the deck just out the back door.

Then sometime after supper he would retrieve

it and make a lime /ginger ale float.

turns out there was a "small" problem

with that idea...

Now, I would think

if someone put a bucket of lime sherbet

in "my" snow bank on

"my" deck

outside

"my" back door

that they intended for

"me" to enjoy the sherbet...

Well..

as it turned out

so did Chloe.

Saturday started out grey and dismal

like so many of the days lately,

but by 9 or 10

the sun had broken through

and it was a beautiful day!

The days high had been somewhere

before daybreak..

and got colder as the day progressed..

another front from Canada

was coming in..

Michael had been on the job for

an electrical shut down and called to see if I would be

at all interested in lunch in town

and then a trip to Maine..

turns out Cabela's

(his favorite store)

was having a "BIG" sale.

Anyway, I regress...

when he picked me up I told him it

had been requested that I

post pictures of snow on the beach..

So off we went in the direction of the beach..

It has not snowed in a few days..

but there has not been a lot of melting

so maybe there would still

be some snow at the beach...

the house ahead was built in the
early 1700s

We are coming up on the ocean

you can see the suns glare off the water

the Atlantic is just on the other side

of the truck in the picture

Now we are on Ocean Boulevard headed

toward Hampton Beach

Seagull sitting on beach wall

remember...

this is not the brilliant white sand

most of you are use to at the

Gulf of Mexico..this is snow on the beach..

The sand up here is pretty brown..

our favorite Chinese restaurant..

fa-ra-ra

the beach

a orange fence was put up after "season"

before the winter weather blew in..

It is low tide and in some pictures you can see where

the water has come up on the beach..

by seeing where the white snow meets the brown sand

walk way to the beach

headed north up 1A

beach wall to our right

on a continuous lookout for Seals & Whales

I wonder if they are headed to Savannah?

I wonder if I could catch a ride...

just as far as Tybee.

headed into town..

a bite at the

"Celebrity Sandwich Shop"

and then on toward Maine

and headed back home

It was wonderful to get out and about in the sunshine!

And until next time :

May the sun always shine on your windowpane

May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain

May the hand of a friend always be near you

May God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Bye now.
