Sea Venture

"Is this like the sea?" asked Caleb

"The sea is salt," said Sarah. "It stretches out as far as you can see. It gleams like the sun on glass. There are waves."

Venturing to the sea tomorrow. I am scurrying around like a squirrel gathering nuts as he prepares for winter. However, I am digging out bathing suits and colorful beach towels.

Oh, how we will drink in the salty sea which stretches out as far as we can see as it gleams like sun on glass. Maybe we will even jump in the waves. They will be cold, I am sure.

That sounds so wonderful. Hope you have a great time.

Love your new picture with the teapot and the reflection.

I loved "Sarah Plain and Tall." I am looking over the bush right now.

I love your teapot. Someday, in my dream home, all my dishes are going to be white and blue. I love the combination. And I love your post about the sea. I used to live on a sailboat and I can remember the smell of salty ocean breezes. It's like heaven.

I hope you have a wonderful time! There's nothing like walking along the sea, looking for shells or interesting bits of driftwood...

I'm eager to hear about your seaside visit.

PS. I always like to when you comment on my blog. I feel like you've pulled up a chair to chat with me in my kitchen over something to drink.

Blessings.
