Friday Finish!

 

This week I was busy getting the trailer ready. It seems I take all week with packing and planning and cooking, on top of taking care of the house but I was able to get it all done and not forget anything. During the week I got a chance to finish a small pillow. Another stitchery I never finished off, so bit by bit, I am whittling down items in my box.



Last week we went to the island for some beach combing. I noticed a goose, close to shore and was able to get close enough to see it was in distress. He has wry neck and that can be a sign of Avian flu. It cannot raise its head, so it is unable to fly. I also saw two dead birds on the shore, so it is possible with the large flocks of geese and gulls in the area. I contacted a few organizations in the area, so hopefully they could help it.



Lots of Ospreys have come back and new ones are nesting so not sure if this is a regular or a new one who may be thinking of nesting in the tree.



Today we got to camp. We got a nice spot on the cove, so it's a great place to relax.



After we set up, we went to the beach and enjoyed some time beach combing and the cooler air. A storm was coming in, so we couldn't stay out long.



Back at camp, I enjoyed relaxing and watching the storm as it rolled in. With the tide being so low, I was able to walk out further in the marsh with my boots. Tomorrow is cloudy and cooler, perfect for bike riding. Sunday will be rain, and I paid for the night so we could stay all day, so it will depend on the rain.

I hope you all had a nice week and can enjoy some nice weather, though I saw there are some bad storms in some areas.

Enjoy your camping getaway (despite the extra work it takes getting ready). That poor, poor, goose. How very sad... I hope the authorities look into what might be going on. No pleasant weather here....Tornados last night took decimated many homes. And we went from temps in the 70's to the 20's overnight. Snow and frost is in the forecast. Think I might be suffering from whiplash...yikes.

I really enjoy all your photos. I was in R.I. Last week to see my girl. We went to Newport and did the cliff walk. The other day we went to Watch Hill and enjoyed that very much seeing the ocean.
