Today, I wanted to take my investigations a little further regarding beachgoers in summer...
First, I met Michael, the rooster, and his family...
further on, his friend Berny was enjoying a banana... while Lise, his sister, sheltered by an umbrella from the harsh sun's rays, was walking along the water's edge, dressed in her Sunday best...
Gerald, the crab, proudly demonstrated his ability to use his sharp claws wisely by building a beautiful sandcastle.
Kiki, the hedgehog, and his companion were sipping a delicious cold drink, while their son was collecting shells... Freddy the goat was lounging in his deck chair...
.......nearCoco the rat and his companion Lili... .discreetly watched over by Tom, the toad. , private detective....
You see, everyone is making the most of this beautiful summer weather as best they can...
I, too, plan to take a few days of vacation soon...but I haven't decided on the date yet...
The beauty of autumn Susan.. I've been thinking about fall, especially since August arrived.. I love the red and orange leaves.. I'm anxious for it to get here, so I've been kinda pretending that it's fall :) In my mind, I'm getting ready for it.. I'm so sick of summer.. July was one long drawn out month.. There were days when it felt like it would never end.. Do you live near the beach? I'm not wild about beaches.. For one thing I'm afraid of the ocean and deep water.. Looks so ominous to me.. I don't live near the beach.. Living in western Pa, I'm far away from the ocean. xx Melinda
