The weekend brought the first sound of peepers, only a few, but a sound so welcome that I left the window open so that I could fall asleep to it. The andromeda bloomed and there were small insects flying, everywhere. I heard, but didn't see, my first red winged black- bird of the season.
The sky was an impossible blue, but was it really that blue? I can hardly imagine. Whatever the color, Sunday was gorgeous. The wind came from the land, not from the water. We'd started the morning working. Again. You know the expression "wound up tight"? We needed some time off. Really off. It didn't take much to persuade Chris, just the mention of a picnic and a walk along the water and off we went.
You know what that means.. don't you. While everyone else is showing you pictures of their spring flowers, ( I don't have any yet) from me you get..
more stones.

I was actually looking covetously at the stones on the beach.
Yay! More each stone buttons! It was a beautiful day on Sunday. Glad you got to go and enjoy the sights, smeels and sounds of Spring. Yes that sky is an impossible blue- it’s perfect.
I saw red winged blackbirds about 2 weeks ago, I think. And we heard peepers so loud the other night that we didn’t even have to roll down the car windows!
I thought you lived in Vermont — is that stone beach on Lake Champlain?
Stones are still good – the lack of flowers is more than made up for by the sky and the sea.
I just discovered the song of red winged blackbirds this weekend. We often see them around our lake…I believe they nest on the far side. This one was sitting on our juvenile cypress tree and serenading me. I heard him all the way in the house!
Stones work for me! Nice choices–future buttons?
Glad you both had some down time…and a beautiful setting to enjoy it!
Oh, andromeda and peepers!! Those are the kind of lovely small details that makes me yearn for New England.
I’m glad that spring is finally coming your way. Here in Arizona we’re trying to stave off summer!
I love the stones. I especially love when you turn them into buttons. It’s the best thing about blogging – I get to see all the seasons in all the parts of the country that I may never have the chance to travel to. Thanks for that.
Hey! Stones and blue sky and water are all good!
Flower pictures are vastly overrated. I’ll take a good stone photo any day!
The red wing black birds have actually been coming to my feeder and the peepers are deafening! I collect nice, flat, round shore stones to put beneath my spigets outside. Nothing like the shore for relaxing:) Good idea.
You see stones, I see buttons.
