After a hectic week
This weekend I plan to:
Walk - down to the breakers
Sit - on the beach
Listen - to the waves and wildlife
Stare - at the big water
Poke - around tide pools
Look - for the coveted lovely Purple Sailor
(I've only found them once in all the years we've lived here)
Janthina
This little treasure is a floater,
and due to the light weight
and the very fragile nature of this shell not many
perfect specimens are in collections)
up to 1 1/2" (4 cm.)
Wait - for sunset
~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm always mesmerized by the waves
What is it about water?
...especially moving, tumbling, crashing water.
It has a way of washing away the everyday stresses
and replacing it with peace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I plan to surprise Hubby with a home cooked meal...
After being gone from home on business,
its what he looks forward to.
This weekend will be my next cook-up
with my friend Dzintra over at
~Queen of the Armchair~
A perfect addition to this cook-up
will be this lovely small prize!
~Icewine from the Niagra Peninsula~
My friend Susan, at Miss Maddie's
posted about this lovely dessert wine last weekend.
It looked so inviting that I had to ask her to tell me more.
She did, and I ordered a bottle.
I was so surprised that it arrived in one day.
I can't wait to taste it.

What will you be doing this weekend?

What a super way to spend a weekend, I just love your photos. I adore being by the sea, so peaceful and tranquil, But dont think it is going to happen for a while here. never mind, I can look at your pics and dream, while I spend my weekend in front of the fire thawing out. Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteVicki Vicki Vicki...a girl after my own Heart...as you know I love the sea and am planning to go down tomorrow, which means we will both be doing the same thing...how cool is that!!! My Hubby is intrigued by that Icewine!!! I can't wait to see your cook up...Have fun my dear Friend, Love from the Land Down Under...Dzintra♥x
ReplyDeleteVicki, can I come with you????
ReplyDeleteIt is so cold here in Florida, I am threatening to unplug, put the slide in and head west! 25 degrees this morning in Davenport. Lots of juice oranges this year after they freeze on the trees. Those little purple shells are exquisite and you have a nice collection. Never seen them before.
Enjoy your weekend!
hugs, Joy
well, a little late for reporting what i will be doing...so i will tell you what we did. :)
ReplyDeletei worked both friday and saturday but yesterday we had friends over to play games and eat a wonderful dinner. apple pie was made (although i had bought the apples with the intent of making a pie for my bachelor neighbor, they turned into a pie for our guests and i bought more apples to make ian a pie).
next week some friends and i are going to the coast for a few days. i can hardly wait! knitting, reading, visiting, eating...sigh
How beautiful those shells! I could just imagine how thrilling it would be to find one! I had never heard of them, thanks for sharing. xxx
