The Cure for Anything is Salt Water
“The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea” - Isak Dinesen
I am holed up in my air conditioned office, thinking wistfully of yesterday's cool breezes floating across the bay.

First, press "Play"
Then sit back, relax, and imagine the cool salt spray kicking up as you cruise toward a private island in the blue of Narragansett Bay.

A Damp Spring Ramble at Goddard Park
Despite a bit of a drizzle, my mother and I had a lovely walk at Goddard Park today, searching out flowering trees. Unfortunately, the magnolias were out of reach to all but golfers, but at least the cherries were starting to put on a good show.
The local wildlife was quite active as well, despite the damp.
How was your Wednesday?

A Little Field Trip
I took my Polaroid on a little tour of South County today.
Moonstone Beach Road
I am officially exhausted. Lots of driving, lots of heat and sun, not enough water. I am soooooo glad I have A/C in the car!! But, I had a fantastic time traveling around by myself, with no one to get impatient or to distract me from my mission.
I'll have more photos for you later! My brain is no longer functioning at this point, so I think I'll call it a night.

Summertime, and the Living is Easy
Have I mentioned how great the folks down at The Good Earth are? Today I was able to take some photos on their property. My main focus: a beautiful New England meadow full of wildflowers. I brought along the Polaroid, figuring this would be the perfect place to use it.

Pastoral Bliss
Today, among other things, I went to Little Compton. It's possibly the prettiest place in Rhode Island. Very pastoral, and right on the water.
Ice Water
My excuse to make the trip over there was to choose fabric for a custom sundress by PhriendlyK8's Threads. I LOVE her sundresses and I am thrilled to bits to be ordering one. I almost bought this one (it looks even nicer in person), but I decided to pick out custom colors/applique instead. She's also got some gorgeous bags and fabric paintings, so do check out her shop!

A Walk on the Beach
I went for a nice walk on the beach today with a good friend of mine, and we came across this little guy:
An unusual sight to see along the little cove we were walking along. We were at first concerned that something was wrong with him (or her), since we were able to get within about 4 feet. But, seems like it was just sleepy, since it shuffled off into the water and swam away without too much trouble.
