degrees w/3 mph winds
Day 39
This is a day late because I tried several times last night to post, but my computer wasn't working correctly....its still not working the best this morning, but its going to let me send it.
Last night about midnight Larry called me outside. I have never seen something so breathtaking as the night sky last night. It was as though the rain yesterday had washed the air. There were no clouds, just dark sky with the brightest stars I’ve ever seen. The lighthouse was shining its light, but it is like an umbrella and shoots out and down, so it didn’t interfere with the night sky. The sky was darker and yet bright. The stars seemed so close that I felt closer than I ever had to them. There weren’t just a few stars either, the sky was filled…and it wasn’t the little twinkly things we are used to seeing…these were like a 4 ct diamond compared to a speck of glass. I would have loved to just lay out all night and look at them.

Today was
a little hazy to start with, the sun was shining, but still behind some
clouds. The air was chilly.
Breakfast
of warmed Banana Bread with butter and coffee, then off to work. Larry was going to go down to the cove and do
a little work, so I grabbed my sand buckets and we headed down. There was a sailboat moored in the cove. It wasn’t until much later that they came
ashore and took a tour and bought some tshirts!
I think
we saw Burton come into the cove also.
He was having difficulty trying to “long board” a friend (girl) to
shore. After a while of trying to fight
the wave they gave up and left. I was
looking forward to hearing more info his father had told him about living here
as a bachelor in the early ‘70’s. He
will be back I hope…with Abbi!

I looked for
sea glass and Bandit ran like a puppy chasing the waves and running around the
rocks on the beach. I gathered my three
buckets of sand and up the stairs we all went from the cove to the beginning of
the tram. I wasn’t ready to go up yet,
so I went out to the end of the Boat House and sat. Just sitting there watching the water, ducks,
seagulls and the sailboats, I would have thought the water was too rough, but
what do I know!
I saw the
collection of Lobster Buoys and began to think about using them. I decided to finish “decorating” the railings
of the tram, the outhouse, and the boathouse deck. I ran out of rope, but I have about three
more and a Lobster cage that I want to do something with.
I came on
back up to the top with my sand and Bandit and I began lunch….Chicken strips
and mashed potatoes!
Larry and
the only visitors we had today, the two gentlemen from the sailboat came up
shortly afterwards.

It seems
to be getting colder. We both finished
our lunch and rested out of the cold. I
worked some on my inventory from sales from the gift shop. Started planning what we will do on our next
“shore” day. Read some and just relaxed.

Dinner….Breakfast! I love breakfast for dinner!
Larry
received several “Happy Fathers Day” wishes from the kids and other family
members. We don’t get on the internet
but a few moments every night to send out my blog.

Goodnight!
