Silent Sunday

I took this about a month or so ago from Commenter Breezeway's property.

It's been a busy weekend here in Chesapeake Bay Land.

One of the highlights was Big Hair Envy's Friday visit which included stops at the public beach, Gwynn's Island and Sandpiper Reef's screened porch. We spent two minutes some time reviewing details and logistics for the upcoming Blog Fest, and she left with her pockets full of broken beer bottles sea glass.

Friday evening, Chesapeake Bay Daughter was retrieving something from underneath a pine tree and a black snake dropped out of the tree right on the ground in front of her.

Saturday afternoon, it was back to Sandpiper again for Anonymous Hallieford Resident's Daughter's graduation celebration, which included steamed crabs on the screened porch.

Baby Sister and Friend, who said they'd be here before noon, arrived 2 hours late. As soon as her feet crossed the threshold, Baby Sis slathered on six coats of lipstick and three coats of lip gloss, then proceeded to leave lipstick marks all over my glassware. Her Friend cooked supper so I overlooked the inconvenience of needing a power washer to clean the glasses. Chesapeake Bay Children thoroughly enjoyed their visit with Auntie Baby Sis.

Tell me what you did if you feel like it. If you don't feel like it, then see if you can say this five consecutive times, really fast: "steamed crabs on the screened porch."

And now, thankfully, comes the silent part of Silent Sunday.

Sea Glass

OK, to be clear, none of the above is sea glass, however we did find the items in the surrounding waters.

On the left is an arrowhead (aka projectile point) Chesapeake Bay Daughter found on Aaron's Beach. The glass in the middle we found in the Rappahannock River and the blue bottle was around our shoreline. Double click on the photo to enlarge the image for a better view.

We do have way too much some sea glass that I'll photograph as soon as I figure out how to make a mountain of broken glass look artistic soon.

Sea Glass
by Chesapeake Bay Daughter, 10 years old

CBW has decided to collect sea glass. (She says it will be worth a lot of money "some day.")

Of course, at first all we see is junk brown sea glass. CBW is very picky says she only wants green, blue or purple (if it exists). Turns out purple is not part of CBW's imagination it is in fact a color of some sea glass.

After 300 years a while we went home. Hallelujah.

The End.

P.S. We were successful and found lots of sea glass.

P.P.S. I have to admit it was kinda fun.

Truth be told, CB Daughter loves looking for sea glass as much as I do. Ever since she found that arrowhead I am obsessed with bound and determined to find one myself.

p.s. C.B. Daughter is my favorite girl ever, and she really makes me laugh.

p.p.s C.B. Daughter inserted all those strike-throughs herself.

p.p.s.s. We do a lot of laughing around the Chesapeake Bay household. A lot.
