We spent last week down in Akumal, Mexico and are feeling pretty lucky to have enjoyed a fun and somewhat relaxing week in the beautiful sunshine. We absolutely ventured off of our resort and felt nothing but safe and welcome while enjoying some local restaurants and traveling to and from activities and day trips.

Join me in Celebrating Earth Day!
Wherever you are, spend some time in nature today embracing the beauty of Mother Earth.
What are your plans for Earth Day?
I will be walking in memory of my mother, at the Morton Arboretum where we shared many walks together. The daffodil and redbud will be in bloom; some of mom’s favorites.
Tips for Celebrating Earth Day.
Practice gratitude as you enjoy a walking meditation this Earth Day, surrounded by the beauty of nature, and experience the peace, comfort and calm that comes from that.
We have but one planet to live on. Be sure to take good care of her!
Happy Earth Day,
Karen

Hummingbirds are fun to watch. So I just ordered this hummingbird feeder based on Paul Morrison’s Facebook post with an arrival map that pushed me into impulse buying mode for our deck. I’ll keep y’all updated on how it goes. @paultmorrison

On Friday the wind and ocean put on a show. We are so lucky to live where we do.

The Opera Dei Pupi TEATRO ARGENTO was founded in 1893. Five generations of Argentos have served as puppet masters over the years. Currently the grandfather. son and grandson produce and perform one show every day.



Also known as bootlace seaweed, mermaid’s tresses, mermaid’s fishing line, dead man’s rope, and
“Sea Whip: Chorda Filum resembles a long whip which can be from 10 to 70 cm long and is very deep brown. it grows in a long strand from a disc holdfast. It looks much like rope or cord, and hence its name. It is found in the sublittoral area or often washed ashore after heavy wave action. It ranges from new Jersey to northern Labrador.” Sarah Fraser Robbins and Clairice Yentsch, the Sea is All About Us, 1973. Chorda filum was not present when I wrote about seaweed on Long Beach after the 2016 fall Storm Hermine.
What a dreamy, atmospheric and wide open beach this Easter morning. Prior high tide reached more than half way into post and rope refuge sites for the piping plovers, though plenty of stretches of dry sand moguls remained. The birds were foraging at the water’s edge.

The Fool’s Gold and Northern Contender anchored together look to me a little bit like tulips in a spring garden Gloucester style…….. Happy Easter and Passover to all!
