This was a hot week, too hot to do too much, but I have been working on my quilting and have more than half of my pillow quilt done. Of course the holiday was the big day of the week and we were able to go to my Sister in Laws and enjoy the day with family and some beach time.
Bean got to go with us and the minute we got there he started whining and pulling towards the beach, he remembered there was one down the road and where to go, the boy is too smart. He loved playing in the water with Bill but the waves were a bit higher and he swallowed a lot of salt water.
The beach is rocky, but the views are beautiful. To the right you can see Newport and a lot of boaters out on the water.
To the left you can see the rocky shoreline and the end of the island, she is close to the end, which is the quieter side but you don't get the cool breezes, like the other end.
The tide was going out, so I thought I would see if I could find any glass. I was surprised when I found glass that had washed up and big chunks of it. I found all this in an hour, so I am sure there was more hidden under the rocks, but there were so many sand fleas and they do bite, I didn't bother digging under. I did get a lot of scrap glass, so that I will save for a friend who does glass work, but I found some nice pieces to add to my collection.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and enjoy the weekend. It is finally cooling down here, so I hope the rest of you are also enjoying a respite from the heat.

Looks like a wonderful time despite the heat.
ReplyDeleteGreat action photo of Bean and Bill!
Love that piece of pale turquoise glass.
I enjoy seeing the glass pieces you find each time. I assume those all started out as bottles at one time or another.
ReplyDeleteGreat to get to the beach when it is so hot... the picture of Bean is great...

As much as I love living here in the Arizona desert, I do miss walking the Rhode Island was shore.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of Bean and Bill :)
ReplyDeleteThat picture of Bean is amazing! and I recall a former pet that could fly like that and jump for joy. It must be nice to have a variety of beaches to retreat to ... especially in the heat of summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of Bean and Bill!!! That dog sure loves the beach! I like the glass you found, I see a sail for a boat!!!
