Love from the puppy's snout

Thought I would share a big ol' snouty kiss with you folks,

you know,

to send you off with for the night...

Nothing like a wet puppy snout in your face or a drooly doggy kiss to know you feel loved,

right?

Aaaaaanyway...

Have a good night.

I am going to be continuing to work on some jewelry/metal work that I do for a fellow artist

and get ready for the Clamfest (in Essex) that I will be vending at next weekend.

Sweet dreams (I know a little early) my little Sweetpeas!!!

doggy tails and duck feet!

Sunshine over water

I love the beauty surrounding me.

I am very lucky to live in such an amazing place!

I also really love that Veda looks like a little lamb.

I just want to squeeeze her she is so darn cute!

clouds over the ocean

Swimming with the Selkies

Finally, a GORGEOUS day!!!

Again I have been procrastinating with what it is I really should be working on, but sometimes you have to choose beauty and pleasure over should's and need to's.

I did, however, get to take my first jump into the sea!!!

WOOO-HOOOOO!!!

Veda and I went for one of our (almost) daily walks to the beach down the street,

my favorite beach in the area.

It was actually so nice that I decided to run back home, throw on my bathing suit and skip back on down with Miss Lou to jump into the water!

Oh, and on top of that it is high tide (my favorite tide!) and it is a super full moon tide (even better!) which means the water is up pretty darn high!

What perfection!?!

I love the sea, it is no secret.

I love the smell of that salty sea air,

I love the feel of the briny water on my skin and in my hair,

I love to feel like a mermaiden as I splash around...

Or maybe a selkie...

I do love those sea dogs!

There is no magic like the that of the sea.

There is not a thing more fantastical or enchanting.

And the supernatural glamour is like balm for the soul...

Anima, Animus.

Hope your day was enjoyable as mine,

Maybe you got in a little swim!!!

From Pasture to Tideline and Back Again:

Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) is one of my favorite herbs.

Miss Veda Lou and I took one of our daily walks down to the beach.

How my heart does belong to the sea.

There were alpine strawberries growing wild and just beginning to ripen,

so I got to delight in eating a couple of them!

I have to say, I feel very luck to live where I do

and I do believe it is one of the most beautiful coastlines around (here at least).

Where is your favorite place to be or visit?
