By the Sea ~ A Day Filled with Grace


By the Beautiful Sea...



Late yesterday afternoon, a huge thunderstorm rolled through and soon afterward the sun shone and later set over Little Bay Cove.


These two 'skiffs' were made by a neighbor who regularly digs for clams and little necks here.  When I was a kid, the fishermen stood while rowing these heavy boats in. 



While enjoying and riding out the storm, I lit my new 'Cristal' candle.

Divinely scented with notes of Mandarin, Peper, Lily, Opoponax, Jasmin, Moss, Vetivert, Vanilla, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli & Amber.  A pricey English candle for a song ($7.99) at Homegoods! 



This morning, I woke up naturally at the 'crack' of dawn thanks to my seriously threadworn French 'holy' sheet as a curtain.  
                                 I sensed a Day of Grace.





Love me a little wooden sailboat....



A gorgeous summer day to just sit and watch as the marsh pool filled with the incoming tide...


   Accompanied by a sweet summer breeze, birds flitting and chirping...and big white puffy clouds floating over the bay...almost surreal...Grace Bestowed.

Roberta I love your beach cove home, I peaked through the window to see the beauty you look at every day...Just no fair, I so wish I had the view you have. Love the tattered topper you hung for a curtain topper holy and all this is the beauty and charm of old things with history.

Thank you for visiting I now can return again, and again over and over taking in the beauty you inspire.

Sea kisses to the princess of tides.
