Thursday Trios – Pull Up a Seat

….this week I’m combining my Thursday Trios with XingFu Mama’s Pull Up a Seathttps://xingfumama.blog/2021/08/06/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2021-week-32/

Walking along the beach last week I came across a trio of trios. What luck.

If you photos of trios of people, animals or things why not join the fun. Copy my link and paste it into your post and I will get a ping back.

Good Morning

….I went out early this morning for my walk before it got too hot

I’m glad that I got my walk in early because I don’t do well in the heat. I drove to the Farmers’ Market this afternoon and even that short trip exhausted me.

It was also suppose to rain but it’s now 6:30 and we still don’t have rain. I would love a good thunderstorm about now.

Hopeless

…..it’s not what you think

Up at the cottage when the residents say we’re ‘Hopeless’ they are not referring to the state of affairs in the world, their own state of mind or any situation for that matter. Hopeless at Big Sand Bay means that we are fogged in and can’t see Hope Island which sits just north of us.

When the fog breaks up and the sun reappears Hope Island returns to us. In life hope is always there. Sometimes hope is all we have and even in our darkest days we sometimes have to push through the darkness to find it but when we do we can begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

A Landmark – July 19

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Tree Square for the month of July https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/07/19/tree-square-19/

The road leading to our cottage is easy to spot from the beach because of an old tree that once housed a. tree house for the kids. Over the years the boards disappeared and slowly the tree started to die off. All that remains to this day is this elongated stump. No one wants to remove it.
