Water, water, ice??
I got out of the house yesterday and of course I had to go down to the water! I should have been a sea-gull. I love being near the water, just hate being "in" the water. lol (do seagulls hat to get in the water?....oh well, you get the idea, right?) This is the first time that there has been ice on the shore all winter, here. I love watching the waves crash over the shore ice. The spray is so pretty to watch. One thing about the beach in winter here in Michigan, the sand is frozen solid and is much easier for my large self to walk on.
I love to sit by the water and knit, yes even in the winter. In my car, anyway. We live just a little way from the beach and can hear the waves crashing on the beach when it is really windy. In better weather, I sit on my sun-porch and can listen to the waves as I knit. What better therapy can there be? Waves and knitting: great combination any time of year.
I took a jillion pics, trying to get one of the crashing waves. But with the digital camera, it is hard to catch that. The delay after pushing the button is just long enough for the spray to have returned to its source! Phooey! Well, I haven't veiwed them all yet, maybe I will find one yet.
Gotta go click some needles and sew some buttons on pretty pink PL1 for the dgs's expected new baby sister. He is almost 15 yo and getting his first sibling! Too bad it's not a boy. I do have a blue outfit in reserve just in case the ultra sound was wrong. hee-hee

I give up! What is that thing in the sand that looks like some mechanical device?
Hee-hee. Do you want the technical answer. Here goes: its a big metal breakwater thingy. I think they are to help prevent erosion, actually. I hate having them in my pics. But I was too cold to walk further down the beach.

I lived on the Hudson before I moved to NM, and I used to love to go down, listen to the lapping water as the tide came in (it's a tidal river for a long ways up). In the winter, if I was cranky I could pick up sheets of ice on the shore and throw them on the ground--great sound, and the ice fragments looked so pretty. Thanks for the water picture...brought back nice memories!
Hi DJ,
Thank you for visiting my blog, and I would share Ollie's holey holey hints, but I have no e-mail address to send them too. If you write me at sandilew85@hotmail.com, I will send the file on to you.
