Hey! Want to go to the beach?
Life has been so busy these days, it’s been hard to catch my breath. And aside from a little more sleep, a few more hours in each day and about 3 more hands and feet, I have been missing a great big dose of the beach. Yes, even though it is pretty much my backyard, I have not spent quality time down there in far too long. So yesterday the day was such that it would not have it any other way. I dropped everything and dashed on down and Wow, where have I been!! After some time down there with the sand between my toes, the warm sunshine on my face, and that cold salty water washing over my ankles, I feel like I have caught my breath again.
heading down the beach trail…

and onto the sand…………..




There is nothing so restorative as the vastness of nature.
Don’t forget to restore yourself in nature now and then. I hope you have all had a great weekend and are excited about the week ahead. And I hope to make it back here soon… We’ve been making some great progress on our house, and there are grand plans for a shop update by next weekend. Bye for now! xo





If that was my front yard I would be spending time there everyday. Even seeing the pictures is restorative.
Thanks so much for sharing them abby.
Margie is right, even looking at your wonderful photos makes me happy & is soothing. Thank you so much for taking them & sharing them with us !
Can’t wait to see your next shop update !!!
Have a great week !! oxoxo
Wow. What a great ‘backyard’ you have!
It’s so beautiful.. how great that is to have that just a few steps from your home!
Glad you get restored!
you lucky girl
this is just how I like the beach : deserted !
over here we enjoy our time at the beach much more when our visitors/tourists are gone !
what a great place you have to mentally refuel, be creative…
and get a deep breath when you need to slow down
Abby!!!!!!!!
We’ve been on the seaside. We are heading there again this weekend with Zoe. I think that… we are moving there!!!
We might have made the decision… We just have to say it out loud. So, we are going this weekend to see more of the land and houses, way of living, medical centers, schools and such.
You are my mentor!! (No, really, you gave me a breath in a moment of need with your wise and unintentional words.
Maybe I can share some pictures like this in a while!!
Amazing place to live. Glad you’re taking time out for a break. The house will wait, the sunshine might not!
I had a crazy week and just went down to the lake to go by the water and relax too
love your shop, love the natural feel of everything!
