Starting my mornings with a nice long beach walk . . .
I never take for granted that beautiful Lake Ontario is at my doorstep.
It was only that I could hear the Sparrows singing that I knew they were there.
Safely camouflaged amongst the beach grapevines.
I'm always surprised by the amount of beach glass I can find on any given walk
not to mention the number of times I must have bent down to pick them up!
The best "workout" routine I can think of.
Beach glass * a few pieces of driftwood * long stretches of sandy beach, calm waters, beautiful blue skies, bird friends ~ bliss!
Once home, I make a nice cup of tea and take my beach treasures
out of my gathering bag. It's like a meditation to me as I arrange them, piece by piece on our family room coffee table.
The table is indestructible. It's a vintage railroad luggage/factory cart. Originally used to transport luggage at railroad stations.
The "raven" stone is an oldie, and you can imagine my joy when it was found on a beach walk! I keep him on top of a wooden dough bowl full of beach glass.
Happy Friday ~ thanks for stopping by!
Have a wonderful weekend ;-)
