You know it's summer when...

My car starts filling up with the flotsam and jetsam of the ocean. As luck would have it, this summer I am working at a historic home with its own beach! So taking 15 min here or there at the end of the day to beach comb all by my self is nothing. Here are some of my finds from this week. (clearly I have yet to start painting again) Here are my 2 'bear' rocks. The smaller one is the newest.

I collect heart rocks. The one on the far left is my Salvador Dali heart rock.

And here is one days work of beach rubble. Sea glass and pottery. It must be the historian in me. These make me so happy. I can't pinpoint it exactly, but it is the combination of the hunt (very meditative), the finding, and the speculation on the origins. Love the little bits of blue and white pottery that I find. I even found a teeny, tiny glass spoon. Probably drug paraphernalia, but could be something else.

Could be.

I am a very cheap date.
