365: Day 159- Inaugural Beach Day!

6/8/14: On Saturday night a couple of our friends told us about South Shore Beach in Little Compton, Rhode Island. It sounded like such a special place that we decided to check it out the next day! We had some things to do in the morning, so we decided to head down there for a Sunday supper picnic.

It proved to be such a perfect spot! We got there at 5:00 as the parking lot was clearing out. It had been in the high 80s that afternoon, so it was cooling down to more tolerable temperatures when we arrived.

It was high tide so we set up our spot very near to where we were parked. So convenient!

S&Z were so happy to jump the waves and play in the sand!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect first day at the beach...

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Today

Today I went to a yoga class for the first time in far too many years. It felt wonderful and pushed me out of my comfort zone. I can't wait to go back! Today Derek gave Silas his traditional mid-summer haircut. Today the weather was perfect and we enjoyed bike rides (them) / a walk (me) in the park after lunch. Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Summer Nights

As we hit the end of July we are relishing the relaxed summer nights around here. Walks to the corner store after work- Kitten snoozes in the window- Playing outside after dinner- And after dinner bike rides in the park aplenty. The best part is when they ride down the "big hill" out of the woods and we make the loop home. These are the days.
