Vacation
08/18/2013
i am at the cabin and having a weeks vacation. i brought lots of books and stitching but i tend to stare at the water a lot.
i went out this morning at low tide and took lots of pics to put here. then realized when i returned that i didn't bring the camera cord to the computer. boring..i guess the pictures i take don't change from year to year.
lots of oysters that i can't eat. after loving them for years i became allergic. one year i had to be flown off the island in a helicopter because it was thought i had paralytic shellfood poisoning. turns out i am allergic. so you know the old song..
oysters oysters everywhere and not a one to eat....
theo looks the same as last year. he loves being here and just being a dog. he can wander without a leash. he comes home and i don't worry too much, just not at nite since he would chase the deer.
i am working on the quilt. no new pics but the quilting is done and now i'm embellishing. just did a feather. i have an idea about a little pocket. more on that later.
this is an amazing place. i don't want to live here year round. being on an island in winter with only a small foot ferry for escape is not my idea of fun. i get seasick. but the place is so peaceful with long periods of no sound except the wind or birds. i think next summer i plan to be here for a month. i hope to retire this year in december. some travel first with the doc and then a month or more here. i want to reset my inner clock to a time without getting up to go to work. i wonder how long that will take? surely my body will remember.
i forget here that things don't have to be done right away. i spent the first day cleaning cobwebs and dead carcasses out of windows. finally i stopped and sat down and stared for a while. i can abide the cobwebs for bit and have some quiet time.
the sun just came out and it is glorious. better take advantage and get out there..
