I love living across the road from the ocean! Today as I was reading out on the deck, enjoying the shady heat, I could smell the water on the breeze. Something very satisfying about being in the woods but still smelling and seeing the Ocean. When J got home it was still really hot in the house. We thought about going to the campground and using their outdoor pool (I have free access because I work with the campground caretaker) but it seemed to far to go since we were feeling pretty lazy. With the ocean at our doorstep it was pretty easy to make the choice. So I struggled into last years swim ensemble, sadly enough I have expanded outwards enough to be in danger of popping out the top of it. I think ill have to break down and look for some swim wear and shorts while on the island. Anyway. Squeezed somewhat sausage-like into my old bikini top and shorts I went down to the beach, my husband and my dog in tow. Swimming just at dusk with the sun slipping behind the mountains and the water still as glass is so peaceful. Im going to miss this little house on the water when we finally move!
