Balls of Sand, Port Aransas, Texas September 2019
I’ve wandered across lots of sand art on the beaches near me in the past six months but this was a first. I liked the display, someone had a fun morning!
Beach Balls
Ouch!
While helping a friend move into her new house I found this pin at the bottom of one of her boxes. Good for a laugh during a tedious process. Oh, how I love the snark!
Expectation vs. Reality
Informational sign at my favorite sunset watching spot overlooking Copano Bay. I’ve been visiting here for months and hadn’t seen any hint of gators the entire time. Until today…
Hmm, gators clearly aren’t as fearsome as I once thought. And yes, I did keep him! I named him Gabe and he now occupies a spot of honor on my dresser.

Wandering the beach after a storm I expect to find random items washed ashore. After the first couple flip flops I caught onto the theme. Perhaps the Gulf felt sorry for me since I’m always barefoot on the beach and wanted to remedy the situation? Before I left I mentioned to the Gulf that I also never carry money while beachcombing. Just sayin’…

After over a month with very little precipitation, the rain came in with a vengeance the other night (parts of town received three inches). As the storm blew away I traipsed out to the beach at Mustang Island State Park for an afternoon stroll.
It was completely empty. Mine were the only footprints on the sand. A pleasant switch from the crowds of summer and a small hint that the season is changing (even though the temperatures sure haven’t dipped yet).
Why, Yes. Yes, I Am!

I never know what I’ll find while wandering along the beach. I don’t usually take the time to read the labels on the trash I pick up but this one caught my eye. After I returned home a quick internet search informed me that it is a multi-purpose cleaner and degreaser called La’s Totally Awesome. I kinda like that name.

Spotted on the bathroom doors at the Beer Hut in Port Aransas, Texas. Pretty creative!

This first pulse of clouds didn’t bring us any rain but what an incredible way to wrap up the day!
Incoming Storm
Bay View, Fulton, Texas September 2019
It was a very busy weekend for me as I moved out of my little cottage and helped a friend move into her new yoga studio. Oh, and I attended a few social gatherings as well. In the midst of all that running around I still managed to take a moment to enjoy the view. There are disturbances in the force to the east and south of us, hopefully that means our long dry spell will soon be over.
