Nola and Thomas and Charlito took me to the beach yesterday. We went just a little past Valley Ford to Salmon Creek (or something like that). We were joined by Megan and Jim and Rob from Texas. I did pretty well with the sunscreen, but the inside of my left knee is sunburned. Mostly I just lay on the beach but I did get up and walk first in one direction and then in the other. Nola and Thomas brought tiny tacos and heated them on a propane stove/burner, after which we topped them with pork that Thomas had smoked for many hours on Saturday, tomato, lettuce, and tomatillo/avocado salsa. I brought grapes and blueberries. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store in Valley Ford and bought cold drinks. Nola and I shared an It's It (Thomas had his own). We sat on the porch to eat our ice cream, watching the cars come and go.
It is very warm today. I have been sitting here looking at things online for about an hour. The clothes I hung out on the line are probably dry by now. I think it's time to get up and maybe consider planting the protea neriifolia I bought at the Flora Grubb sale on Saturday. Maybe in the top terrace out front? Or in the back, somewhere.
Oh, and Thomas came over on Wednesday to install my bookcase. All of my books are shelved now, and there is a bit of room to spare. Yay.
