The sun is going down. I've watched a loggerhead turtle swim past the boat. Maybe she is on her way to lay eggs. I think it is amazing that loggerheads return to their natal beach to lay eggs. Dolphins have been swimming and blowing out their breath all afternoon. So much beauty in this place that it swells my heart.
I spent the morning in the water with my old dog. She enjoyed the swim and the relative coolness of the water. The temperature is about 84 F but that's better than the 105 F heat index today.
I polished the bronze cowl vents this afternoon. They look great against the varnished teak. Work on the boat doesn't end which is okay. It's a labor of love .
Tonight I fixed some cheese tortellini, smoked salmon, Caesar salad, and French bread. We are having a feast. Life feels easy today. I will take that and enjoy the last few moments of the sun.
how cool is that...would love to see a loggerhead...saw a few in mexico a couple years ago...have a great evening syd
ReplyDeleteA beautiful day. I can hear your gratitude. :o) You are blessed and you share your blessing with us here. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou know Syd, an invitation to have dinner would not be refused!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the beauty of your day - just what I needed to hear.
ReplyDeleteWhew, sounds like life is peaceful for you right now. You went through a time of stress and extra work with family members ill. Glad you have some serenity again.
ReplyDeleteyumm..my idea of a perfect dinner too.
ReplyDeletePerfect day. We have a record number of Loggerhead nests on an island just south of you. Some Leatherbacks have been spotter too. Everyday if you keep your eyes open in the Lowcountry you see something amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh Syd. I am so behind but it is a joy to read about your peace on the boat.
ReplyDeleteYour 'easy' sounds gourmet. Mine was spent on the couch watching Austen Powers and Spinal tap, eating pizza, and letting the kids play on the Slip 'N Slide, but I felt the same sense of ease that you write about.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week :)
Nice to hear of your peaceful day.
ReplyDeleteI used to see alot more land turtles but less as the years have passed by.
