Still At the Beach

The weather isn't great, but it hasn't been that bad yet.  Yesterday it was cloudy but dry and we were able to walk on the beach, but it wasn't nice enough to go in the water. Today the "no swimming" flags are posted, but I doubt if anyone would be crazy enough to even try surfing--the waves are HUGE.  We did go out on the beach a bit, but we were all wearing long pants and sweatshirts. The winds whipped our hair in all directions, but luckily, they were not blowing in a way to make the sand pelt us--that is PAINFUL!

Not far from the beach there are wetlands where there are lots of wading birds and today we saw DOZENS of egrets and herons. They sit up in the trees looking like Christmas ornaments, and SC said they looked as if they were having a convention! When many of them flew off, she and JR decided they were going on lunch break and started inventing the menu for the "Blue Heron Cafe"--worm spaghetti, fish balls and bug juice! 

We went out to eat at one of our favorite seafood restaurants last night, and  may venture a short way off Chincoteague to another favorite eating place tonight. We'll see--the weather is supposed to get worse tomorrow, so if we are going to go anywhere, tonight's the night.

So we're managing to do stuff--though it's not as much fun as playing on the beach.

And betcha the bad weather will clear out on Saturday as we head home................
