beach day

we broke up a morning of jobs with a visit to the sand dunes beach. The sky was blue, black blue, but blue none the less. Running through the grasses we reached the sandy beach and finding a sheltered spot stopped for hot chocolate from the flask. The soft sand was pocked with rain drop marks left by an earlier shower. With the hot chocolate warming us from the inside out, we explored the array of sea weeds along the tide line, built a sand town and paddled for a while, in our boots. "There's no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing" - has become a bit of a mantra in our house.
