    Funny day today.  Rob spent a great portion of it fixing fences.  The calf has proven that his fence making abilitys are city-bred not farm bred.  The mama cow freaks and just breaks the fence to get to her baby.  HE added sheep fencing to the fence the calf prefers to get out.  One can hope it works.  We tried twice to go to the beach today.  It started raining the first time and we headed back.  But I really, really needed to get out in the air, so we tried again.  It began raining in the same place, but we decided to press on.  A few minutes later we spotted the above picture out on the ocean.  And we managed to snag an hour at the beach without rain.  We got back in the van and it began raining again.  God knew I needed out apparently.

    I refer to this picture as the Princess has arrived.   She's deaming to give me permission to take a picture.  *snicker*  Silly Zeria.  The tide was super far out.  And as a result the tide pools were more intresting and we actually found at least 6 star fish.  Purple and Red both.   I waded knee deep--I know smart with a nasty cold--and took a picture of this fella.

    I love the beach.  I love that every time we go there we discover something new.  We learn something new.  And we learn to appreciate the intense variety of God's creation.

    This particular beach has some awe inspiring driftwood.  And the tide was waaaaaaaay far out so we were actually able to climb on it without getting wet.

    The beauty is everywhere, even in the patterns the surf creates as it leaves the sand, and the rivlets of water falling everywhere.  And all one can say as they look is God is good.  And suddenly the most recent pity party goes out with the tide leaving me feeling clean once again.

    And when your done looking...you can always dig in the dirt.  *sniggers*

    Anyhow it was a lovely way to end the day.  And a nice break from coughing.  Actually I didn't cough once the whole time I was out on the beach.  And then I got inside and began hack, hacking away.  Too bad its not warm enough to just live on the beach.  Or dry enough for that matter.
