It's Poetry Friday, and Jama Rattigan is hosting HERE on her blog, Jama's Alphabet Soup and celebrating her 18th blogiversary! Congratulations, Jama, and thanks for hosting on this special day!
Well, It's been a while since posting and I'm excited to be back, but most excited to read all your posts. I want to try to catch up a bit with everyone's lives and spectacular creativity, which I have so missed.
I didn't have the pleasure of a trip to the beach this year. I'm sad to miss the ocean, have been somewhere "on a beach" every summer for a lot of years. There was just too much going on for the family to get together for a week. When I saw this book at the library, it filled me up a little. Esther Freud has written the story of a family who lives at the beach in poetry, and it's about year-round pleasures, illustrated by Emma Chinnery, who shows the joys of every time of the year, even when there's snow on the sand!
One lovely double-page spread!
And our own kite-flying day. This time, it's my daughter who's flying!
Looks like a special book, it reminds me of a beach on Cape Cod which was enchanting, thanks for sharing it Linda. Sorry you missed your summer beach travels. I'm hoping to make a day trip to the Michigan Dunes with my family, but we still haven't found an open date for all… Presently, I'm posting occasionally due to my teaching load. Glad we crossed paths this week, thanks! ☺️ 🐝 🌻
