Home From the Beach.

 

We are home from our October beach trip. I think going to the beach in October is my favorite time to go visit. This was nice as it was stormy and rainy. The tides were high too. I have never been here before it was Cambria. Don't ask me why. It was the nicest place and our hotel was top notch. We walked and walked.
The fun pictures of the town is on Ron's phone so I will have to do another post once I get his pictures.

My cute hubby!

We forgot to bring a bag. We spent three days picking up rocks so he can polish them. So his coat pockets are filled with rocks.

 

I forgot you only see these guys in October. I think this is a nesting place on the Central Coast. As Ron remarked," imagine having to eat all of the time through a straw." 

 

I just loved this rock with all of the shells on it and the way the animals in the shells had left indentations in this very hard rock. I am always amazed at the things you can see around you.

I know this isn't  very good picture of the buzzard trying to catch some sunshine on his wings. I just had my iPhone and I didn't want to disturb him very much. I am always thrilled when I get to see them doing this.
I didn't take a umbrella because I was afraid if I did it wouldn't rain. It rained and I stayed soaking wet.
Ron came down with the cold. We just stayed out in it until finally by Saturday evening I was tired of rain.
Not so much the rain, just being sopping wet.

It was a nice trip, just too short. I do love getting to sleep in my own bed though. There is just something about the ocean, and the smell of the sea weed and the wet air and watching the sea hit the rocks. I loved seeing the gray skies and even watching the rain is different because it comes down in sheets.

I am so glad the cooler weather followed us home. I am finally going to bind my giant Give Ye Thanks rug this week. Do you remember it?

I did finish it, I will show it to you when its all bound. I worked on this so long, I couldn't stand it. Now I really like it.

I hope you have a great week! Thank you so much for stopping by,

for the secret of the sea,
and the heart of the great ocean
sends a thrilling pulse through me.”
