No internet and another limb down

I haven't had internet access for the past two days so I am typing fast before it goes out again. Comcast will be here Tuesday....between 10 and 1:00...Oh Joy!

Anyway, all is well here except we awoke to this....

......another limb bites the dust. I think it is time this tree says goodbye. Nothing was hit this time, just another mess to clean. Gotta go help DH before the humidity gets too bad.
Will share stitching soon.......Have a nice day!

Solo beach morning

I was walking along a beautiful pure white sandy beach on a magnificent island when I heard someone calling my name......then I woke up! I was dreaming! I looked out the window to see a gloomy cloudy morning however the urge to go to the beach was too strong to ignore. I knew mom was busy so I had to go alone.

There wasn't anyone else there when I arrived except a young couple. I started down the shore and felt a overwhelmed by the hard crashing waves beside me. Was this a good idea? The air was quite cool yet there were pockets of warm air coming off the water. I slipped off my sandals , rolled up my jeans and walked as close as I could to the water without letting the water touch me.

I thought perhaps there might be lots of glass since we had  hard rain storms the two previous nights. I found a few pieces and continued on despite the feeling that I should turn back and return another day with mom. After about 20 minutes of meandering along the shore I spotted a beautiful lighter blue piece of glass. As I bent to pick it up the sun came out. I smiled and knew I should continue on. I walked....and walked....and walked until I found myself the furthest I had ever been before. I turned and could see many small black dots on the beach and knew it was filling with sun bathers. I had spent almost three hours walking....time to return home. On the way back I found two more blue pieces and a few purple pieces, one being a nice dark purple. I felt energized as I climbed the wooden steps to my car and was so happy I acted on my instincts and made the trip. I was hot and stopped for a mocha latte on my way home thinking of the cool pool water and anxious to cool off. When I went in the house to change the sun went away as the dark clouds filled the sky. Argh! (as Charlie Brown would say), what now? I went in anyway and the sun popped out a few times and I decided I could do something more constructive with the day so I went in to stitch until DH came home. Then again this evening on the front porch as I polished off the strawberry Daiquiri's left over from the weekend. :-) (almost no rum)...really.

This is the loot I found today.

 Love that dark purple piece!
I also wanted to share a blog that shows several studio ideas. I am honored to have some pics of mine featured . Check it out and maybe you will find some new storage ideas.

Have a great evening and a sunny tomorrow!
