3/20/14 Dear Mishka. Sea shells


3/20/14
Dear Mishka

I've been quite lucky so far with my walks along the beach. The first day there was a very large conch shell in shades of cream and gray. Needless to say I trotted up like any tourist, pounced on it and stuffed it into my bag crying "Mine!" (remember Tank Girl?). Last week during an evening walk in the dark with Matthew and a flashlight we discovered a piece of sea sponge turning and rolling in the surf. That particular piece of sea life bounced its way right into my living room.

Later while discussing my goodies, I was told by one of the people that works here that she had been walking the beach for 4 years and have never found anything like that. I guess I'm lucky. But then Murphy's Law found me again. For the first time ever a swarm of jellyfish has been washed up on the shore right here at a pretty private white sand beach. And I wanted to go paddling today. Well you can't win them all.

I have to settle for sitting on the balcony and watching the tall mastered ships go by in the breeze. Loki sits with me these days, he got used to his leash and harness and we made his leash long enough for him to pounce upon to the table for a better view. You should see his face in the breeze and he is sniffing. His head tilted back and his eyes are squeezed shut and his little nose is twitching faster than you can imagine.



Love
The Blonde
