Beach, books, and mulch

Up, down, up, down go the temps. Last two days were warm and we marched to the beach with towels, sunscreen, & Kindle, of course, this morning to enjoy (after the walk to the beach - I know, sounds a little weird).  And yes, we did enjoy, with only a few other people, until the wind kicked up. After a nice lunch at the inside beach cafe, made our way home.

Crazy looking guy out there today. Did you guess what he's doing? This was the most serious metal detector I've ever seen. He seemed to be finding a lot of things too, but had a practiced one hand swoop into his pocket before anyone could see a thing. (maybe all those nickels & dimes the kids drop?)


Aaah, the life - the yard crew showed up today with mountains of bags of mulch for our neighborhood yards. I better not get too used to this, no crew of any kind shows up at Star Mt. It's a bunch of sweat, blood, and tears from Mark & Gretchen.
Finished book #60. A memoir from a member of an infamous British family in the early 20th century - maybe you've heard of - the Mitford family. Crazy, wild, and fascinating. I will read more. This was Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford. This is not the sister who was friends with Hitler, although it is the sister who spent her life regretting that she had the chance to shoot Hitler and didn't arrange it. (she was a young teenager - I don't really think it was possible).
