Everyone in our house was very sad including T. She knows Darien isn't around and she is despondent. We took her to the vet yesterday for her normal check up and had her x-rayed for hip dysplasia, which she unfortunately has, not a good day all around.
But I knew I wouldn't be able to work, so I decided we needed to get out into the sunshine. It is always the beach I turn to when I sad, and for a little while I forgot the sadness in my life while I manuevered the beach. It was high tide and I never go to the beach at high tide, mainly because I have to walk in soft sand and that is just too tiring. However, the beach contour is changing, and there is about a quarter of a mile that we completely lost the beach. We had to scramble up over the dunes and walk up on the boardwalk to avoid the rushing waves, and that has never happened at that part of the beach in my whole 20 years I have been walking this beach.
It won't be long until high tide is at the Great Highway and that will the beach walk. Then maybe it won't be so bad - we will be walking on asphalt. But it is true we are losing our beach, must be global warming.

TSH went to the beach YESTERDAY with T3 and Taya - it was fun, but T3 is right - it's hard to walk on sand - particularly when it's crowded.
ReplyDeleteI offered to go on a beach walk TOMORROW (Thursday) morning - hopefully before the crowds arrive - should be fun.
My office was very supportive about our loss of Whitemop - knowing she wouldn't be in the window waiting but still looking was my order of the day.
Whitemop resolve - start diet & walk some every day (walked to Bart today) - Whitemop lost 6 pounds & so did I. I'm on the Whitemop Program!
