October at the beach


Thanks to the fabulous generosity of one of Steve's co-workers, we spent the final days of October in Rosemary Beach, Florida. Kathy loaned us her lovely house and we stayed from Tuesday through Saturday. It was peaceful and beautiful.



I knit beside her pool...



...and at the beach.



We put together a jigsaw puzzle.



We rode bikes for miles (no hills!).



Every morning I read the newspapers and had coffee outside in the sunshine.



And David, Marley, and Sam made an intricate maze of tunnels in the sand.

It was a memorable and restful end to October.
