life is...

a day at the beach! 
very unlike-a-lion weather this past weekend, so a walk on the beach it was.
we headed to hughlett point which looks out to the chesapeake bay.
we werent the only ones visiting, though... these footprints are from a bald eagle, i think...
we stopped by the walmart on the way home: they had a fantastic selection of pez dispensers!
the day ended with a pink tinge.

huge meteor misses east coast

wow: from my view, the meteor hit somewhere near the potomac in charles county at about 12:40pm on valentine's day this week, but it actually fell into the ocean...this time...yeah: i saw it while driving on route 301 on the harry nice bridge leaving virginia, heading into maryland...of course: no one believed me, but i saw what i saw...and what i saw was something (fairly) large...on fire...headed toward the ground at a high rate of speed...sooo glad i am not alone!

tonight's sunset

tonight's sunset was awesome and culminated a beautiful day of contemplation in the upper 80's: probably the last day like that for a long time. wish you were here: not!

i don't hate fall!

summer was meteorological over the first of september and officially over after labor day, but i cling to each and every sun ray til the bitter end: 9:18pm this tuesday, the exact time of the autumnal equinox. in fact, i am outside now, with fleece pants tucked into long socks and three layers on top: it's 68 degrees here on the chesapeake bay: burr! leaves are falling and a few are bright red (a little early for fall color, but not a huge amount of rain here), and i am feeling it: my cool weather clothes are sooo great! additionally, i ordered about 2/3 of anna sui's collection for target, so i'm ready! this little leaf pendant, electroformed in copper and on an adjustable black satin cord is a great fall accessory to wear with it all!

jellyfish as pet

i see jellies in the bay all the time: never really thought of them as pets though! think again: you can buy a complete jellyfish aquarium set-up at jellyfish art for just under $300.
i might put one on my wishlist!

happy birthday!

today is the mister's birthday: he is sooo old! i got him a lot of cool stuff to help take the edge off: dewalt cordless saw, bykali belt buckle via etsy , m"n"m treasures belt buckle also through etsy, waterproof binoculars for when he's fishing. i also made him a few things: a t-shirt with the silhouette of his boat; another one of a gorgeous chesapeake bay deadrise boat; amethyst and sterling silver cuff links and studs; and buttons! i fabricated these buttons out of an old hammered flask found at a flea market some months ago...took three hours, but i finally sew'd them on his favorite jacket so he can wear it today: shiny!
