Walk with me along the path...

Let's go this way for a change...John's boardwalk/putting range toward the shore.

Look over to your left and see the beautiful marsh behind the beach cottage.

I awoke early one morning after a stormy night and this little white boat was floating here. At first I thought it was my imagination! I think John claimed it as his own as it's been resting here ever since.

Let's climb over these rocks to the clearing.

Keep your eyes open for shells..darn, I forgot the bags. One for trash, one for treasures. This conch shell is a little battered but I'll claim it for my collection.

There's a patch of pebbly sand just ahead where I sit and daydream sometimes.

Aha, something else for my wishlist. Two weathered Adirondack chairs! Let's see, an outdoor shower, picket fence and two of these chairs. That should do it for now....

Thank goodness for pockets even though these don't hold much!

At home I spread out my treasures. hmm, a rare peice of driftwood and a very pretty shell with wavy edges in the perfect color. I've never seen one of these before...perhaps it has travelled far.

Blogged for Barbara's Waterside Wednesday. I hope you have enjoyed one of the last walks of summer. For now, I'm back to whitewashing the cottage walls. Stay tuned...
