Off to the Sea...

Another trip to the sea for me tomorrow...the perfect wonderful ocean..where I will dip my pretty toes...and be kissed by the waves. At least for one day.

 A hurricane's a'comin'!


Her name is Irene. I think it's obscene. How dare she come and spoil my perfectly good little trip all alone. But...a'comin' she is. So I have to make the best of it.

Chances are very great that my imagination will work overtime while I sit in my humble little dwelling. Hmm. Just had a thought. I'd better pack some candles. Because I AM going..and nothing will stop me. This will be my last summertime trip to the ocean this year. A time to wish the waves farewell until winter. Which is actually when I love the sea the best. It changes colors then...often. And the sky is different too. Again..it changes color. Gone are the brilliant clear sunsets and smoky hazy sunrises. In their place is an almost ethereal glassy beauty that has to be felt to truly be seen. Those of you who love the sea in all seasons will know what I mean.

So what will I do if it storms a madness and I can't get out? I will write. I will play. I will read. And I will dream. I'm getting very good at that. I will sleep and laze and think. And I will be at peace. Comfortable with my own company. Quiet, meek little me. Haha! Okay, maybe not.

But my rage has left me. I may be red. And I packed my hat, so my hair will be the only thing that is. But I'm not seeing red anymore.  All I can see are lovely brown eyes, and the ocean.
