Yesterday was such a glorious day.  We had a very low tide, so I was able to walk from Cambridge Beach to Lighthouse Beach along the shoreline and see things from a perspective I hadn’t seen before.  People were kayaking, walking to the end of the sandbar and sand dollars were exposed along the water’s edge.  All that after a wonderful morning of cameraderie and sharing at Mug Up.  As Joey would say: “This doesn’t suck”.

Let’s Paint Exercise and Eat Watermelon TV

Here’s a video of my former Art Teacher John Kilduff.

When he kicked the Treadmill speed up to 5mph I had to leave his Class. Too fast for me.

The Trumpet Vine

 

Looking at it now, in late winter light,

it is quite fearsome and frightful.

Although cut back in the fall, it seems

about to devour the house.

 

 

Better to remember the spring and summer

when its leaves and pods  create a world apart

and its beautiful yellow blossoms

bring  bees and hummingbirds.

To many people Robins signal the return of Spring.  Although these days more winter over than they used to, seeing a flock of them in the yard eating berries makes me feel that Spring has made an early return.  Did you know that a young robin has a black beak and a full adult has a yellow beak with just a tip of black at the end of the beak?  The first robin has a definite black beak and therefore appears to be young.

Since I am still on my nuts and berries diet (have lost 17 lbs. but still have 10 to go), like the robins, I got to have some wonderful mixed berries and red grape fruit salad at Mug Up this morning.  Everyone else got to have what’s in the third photo.  I don’t know what it was, and I avoided looking at it any longer than it took to photograph it to avoid temptation.  It was a great Mug Up.  Thanks so much Donna and Rick.
