It was 29 C today again with 86% humidity. We are getting acclimatized real fast. Shorts and sandals are the dress code around here for sure. We came here to get warm and that's what is happening. It is 10 pm when I write this, and it is still 24 C.
Once again this morning we woke up to the Oyster Boat Dance. I could sit and watch them for hours. Today they were really close to shore right beside the Ponderosa. It is so incredible watching 40 boats going in circles just feet away from other boats. They did this for 6 hours today before they headed back in with boats full of bagged oysters.
For the most part this is a dog friendly beach. Everyone is respectful of others but once the dogs who are close by are introduced to all the other dogs in the neighbourhood, everyone just lets them run. They are all made to stay close to home and all poops are promptly picked up, so it makes for a nice environment. There is no barking because all the dogs are relaxed. There were a couple out swimming this morning. Charlie will go get his legs wet, but so far that is all he will do.
Today was a boat watching day, and a short trip to Walmart in Port Lavaca for supplies. When we got back the sun was going down and was very pretty as usual.
After supper Sue got out the TV projector I bought her for Christmas last year. She has been soooo excited to try it since I got it for her about 290 days ago. lol. Anyhow the silly thing seems to work pretty good. It is recommended for up to a 55 inch display but it is still fairly clear at about 8 feet square. It reminds me of doing the old drive in movies. We watched an episode of Walking Dead in the dark on some strange beach. Kinda spooky!!!!!!
Oh and I think I mentioned yesterday that I though we may get some neighbours. Now for our friends Patsy and Bill, this is what you call close neighbours. We were NOT even nearly this close. Good thing these are nice people and I think we will get along fine. If not we have wheels. lol. It seems like at Magnolia, everyone gets real cozy and we don't really mind that right Patsy?? Here's the view out our window tonight.
"Away" is a place not found on a map, but you'll know you're there when you get there. And then it happens. One day you wake up and you're in this place where everything feels right. Your heart is calm, your soul is light, your thoughts are positive and your vision is clear. Your faith is stronger than ever and you're at peace. At peace with where you've been and with what you've been through and at peace with where you are headed. A place called away.
Looks like you are enjoying you time there , loving the warm weather.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with warm weather in the winter.
DeleteYou two certainly have put the miles behind you to end up with one beautiful view out your window. Right now, being stuck in the north, we are just a little envious...okay a lot envious...lol. (Even if the neighbors are close...:)

We had to go hard because the cold seemed to keep following us. There was a 3 day cold window on the weather map that just kept moving south as we traveled south. We couldn't seem to shake it. Well its hot here now so we have let bygones be bygones. Hope you get to enjoy some warmth soon.
DeleteWell Lorne had we known it was you at the time we made the comment, it would have been different. We will just have to meet up this year and get cozier. Some dueling drone action is in order.
ReplyDeleteI need a drone partner again. Haven't flown much at all.
DeleteOh Lorne, you kill me. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like another nice spot you have found and good thing these neighbours are nicer than the ones in Borrego Springs! ha ha They probably won't write about you! :)
We don't really mind 'cozy', here at Pahrump we have no choice although our neighbours are never outside long enough to speak to.
Enjoy your time there in shorts and sandals. I LOVE this weather!!!
Sorry I couldn't resist the opportunity to mention our meeting. lol Looking forward to our paths crossing again.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place to stay!
