Yep! I went down to the beach in North Carolina for some brisk beach walks and salty air.

There is cactus there. And people zipping around the water using kites.

Lots of pretty beaches for walks.

And lighthouses.

Big dunes and bird watching.

Did I mention that my daughter was part of the group?

And then a very long drive in the pouring rain.

The last leg was a train trip from Connecticut back to Boston. One of the things I love about the train is all the views of the undersides of the world.

And I’m home! Hopefully I will be back to work soon and get some things finished up and posted. So much to do including the garden which came to life when I was gone. See you soon!
