Gone Fishing

What with the chaos of getting the house painted, and the intricacies of planning a birthday party for Mr S, and getting the yard in shape for the weekend, I've been too busy to enjoy the lovely weather. The best part of the day is walking by the ocean in the morning, even when I'd rather sit and do the puzzle and drag around in my robe for another hour. Even though it's low tide, the beach isn't configured to provide a long walk, so we took to the wharf instead.The clear air is a tonic, and there's always a great sky show,.

Like a packrat, I was drawn to this shiny fishing reel, and then I loved the criss-crossing lines.
