The heat wave that's been hitting us finally ended! I worked outside almost every day during a week of average temperatures above 100 degrees. I actually had a heat rash for a couple of days, which hasn't happened to me since I was about five years old. Craziness. Attempts to stay cool included swimming, hitting the movie theater, eating black licorice ice cream, sleeping in the AC, and avoiding too many outdoor activities, which left time for indoor crafts. During all that time of heat and NO rain, I started daydreaming about wild storms and adventures, and using paintbrush and ink to doodle away the hours :)
Ah friend, I feel your presence so strongly today. You make me itch in anticipation of a new adventure. (ps: the photo is from this trip!)
Welcome to the beautiful haven of Beavertail State Park, where the breeze is strong, the waves crash with excitement, and saltwater flies in your face! As the weather got chillier this past weekend, we packed a fall picnic full of delicious homemade salsas and pestos (chefs pictured in the 5th photo) and went to go sunbathe on the rocks by the sea - only sailboats, fishermen, and lichen as witnesses. Fall picnics have a very different feel from summer picnics, more exhilarating than lazy and hazy. What a great place!
