Lake Ontario...so clear and warm in August. This is only 17 miles from our house. I adore the beach, I really really do. I hate sand, but ha, love the beach. :)I had too much sunscreen on my nose, but oh well. I was quite happy to sit in the sun after playing in the waves with Achilles, Rhys, and Jamison.
Camille was holding baby Ellis.
This fine morning, I went to my water aerobics class, then moseyed to Aldi, all by my lonesome. I got grapes, bread, turkey, mini burger rolls, milk, and popsicles. I stopped for a coffee, then home...ahh, home. I had to bring in my backpack with wet swimming stuff, and all of my Aldi stuff, ugh. Paul wasn't home, the girls were at work...it was quiet. I put things away, cleaned my bathroom, washed some windows and puttered around. The flowers on the deck needed some water, then I sat out there and put my feet up in the hot sunshine...when Kathryn texted and asked me if I wanted to go to the beach. Yes, yes I did.
I found Char's and Cam's bathing suits for them, and picked them up from work. We spent a little over two hours there, then came home and had BLT's, tomatoes from the garden. I actually had bacon and eggs, and a bit of tomato, but mmm.
The girls are getting ready for college, they both bought new computers. I can't believe how quickly we've gotten to this point, but it's exciting for them.
Tomorrow some grandchildren will be coming over, it's supposed to be hot, and a chance of rain. I'll take the rain! I'll also take the heat. Turns out I rather like it. Next week is supposed to be cooler, and dang, we're going camping next weekend, and yes I'll survive with jeans and a sweatshirt, but ahh, the sundress is my favorite! I know fall is just around the corner, the leaves are already falling off our poplar trees, and they crunch underfoot when I go out to water the garden, it smells like autumn. Lovely, but I am not ready to say goodbye to summer yet.
The sun is setting too early, the days getting shorter, no!!!! Ah well. Life marches on. Have a good evening!
