Enjoying our beach on a #sublimesunday and a #ulog post.

Why not follow me down our path and see what I am about on this Sunday. Here is a quick video of our main pathway to our beach.

Grab a seat and look to your left, out into Buzzard's Bay.

Looking to the right you can see little harbour.

We love sitting down here in the morning. Though, since I have made my little porch and terrace, we tend to have our morning there and then meander down afterwards. Puss loves to follow me here and often lounges in the sand keeping an eye on me.

If you look back up the path, you can see my little pergola on the terrace peeking out. It gives an idea of the rise of our land from Sea to the house.

That jumble of giant rectangular boulders are what is left of a once engineered stepway to the beach. It was made back in the 80's before our big hurricane Bob that hit our shores back in the 80's. It was so strong it jostled and tossed these giant stones about.

My project for next Spring is to make a wooden stairway and planked pathway above the beach grass. However, this year my Spring project was the terrace and pergola, so that is on the list for next Spring. I like to take on one big project in Spring with the aim of finishing by 1 June ( which is also @winstonalden 's birthday) and then to just enjoy the project for the rest of the Summer.

Let's head back up the path towards the house and to the left as we go up, on that large boulder there, you can see my latest Beach Treasure: An intact shell of a horseshore crab.

That's right I said intact, check out the underside, all those little pre-historic feet.

I let treasures dry out and 'de-stink' here before taking them to the house. Some things don't even make to the house and I just let this rock become a revolving display of my beach finds.

Beachcombing and treasure hunting here always leads to inspiration for art in some form or another.

Let's head over to the garden now. My salad greens are doing very well, a mix of kales, lettuce, cabbage, and chard.

You can also see my corn is growing nicely.

I'm pretty proud of my kholrabi. They are getting large and are so round and white.

The little bed on the outside of my veg garden is doing nicely as well. It is my herbal tea bed. I have cinnamon basil, pineapple sage, chocolate mint, bergamot bee balm, and lemon balm, and hyssop-anise. There are some flowers mixed in as well.

My rose gladioli combo planting is working out thus far.

I underplanted some gladioli under my roses so they would grow up thorugh them and act as the stake. When the rosers are done flower, the glads should be flowering. Although I am hoping if I continue to dead head my roses they might be blooming simlutaenously. Gardening is often experiment and I love that.

Since we are looking at flowers and plants, here is one of my favourite wild flowers that grow profusely here: Queen Anne's lace or wild carrot. The flowers on these are so amazing, made up of so many smaller flowers.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this short #walkwithme #ulog #sublimesunday of a day. I hope you all get a moment to enjoy your favourite way to relax today.
