there was a shift in the wind today, coming from the south that brought flies. I did have bug spray, but it seems that I am a sitting Target as I build a castle for 5 hours



Building in August & September on the Massachusetts Street beach, in Lewes, Delaware
My days in Lewes will be coming to an end soon. This makes me treasure them even more, and give thanks for each day.
You might remember that my sign was blown away in a storm last week. Today, a beautiful lady came, carrying my sign! She said it was right under where they were sitting. We think it must have come up in the last high tide we had.
Here is Castle #30.

I do not take these days for granted, I am very thankful to be here in Lewes.
A lot of people came by today, including Giovanni and Jeff. Giovanni took a picture of me to send to my friend Andrea. 💕
David brought his two daughters, Evelyn (7) and Max (5). I had met them last year, and they remembered how to make castles. They built one right next to mine.💕🏰


Evelyn and Max’s Castle they built with their dad
Kids and castles today!
Audrey (6 1/2) and Lilia (5 1/2) came to learn how to build castles, and built a very nice one together, with steps.
I was so happy to see Kailee with her two wonderful kids, Carson (5) and Bryson (2) again! Carson was my favorite on the beach today! She kept checking on my progress, giving compliments on my work, and keeping me company while I built! She and her mom built the best decorated Castle on the beach today!
Two brothers, aged 7 and 4, worked with their grandfather, building a huge castle today!

Audrey and Lilia’s castle – they did a good job on their first steps


After the storm, the castle mound was half there (the back half had gone to the high tide.) My Sandcastle Lady sign had gone with the wind. I told people that were walking up and down the beach to keep an eye out for it.
I built a castle, but this was 12 hours after the storm, and the high tide came up and took the back and half of the front.
I like to make up stories, and hoped that the people in the villages on the back had evacuated before that tide got them!


I am so thankful for these good days on the beach, and will never take them for granted.
I built Castle #23 today, and was very happy to meet Sharon, who came from Milton, and brought her daughter, Lacey, who flew from Texas to Baltimore.

My sister came last night, and was with me today! She carried water, and helped make trees. I taught Cece (4 1/2) and her dad, Eric how to make sand castles. 🏰💕 My tools and Sandcastle molds were lent to kids building sandcastles. 🏰💕 Anita and Barb came to meet me, and said they have been following me for 3 years. 🏰💕
There was a nice onshore breeze as I built my 22nd castle today.
