Category: Sand Castles on the beach

Sorry – here are the photos!

My cousin, Bron, from Bromyard, Herefordshire, England was here today, and said she’d love to be on this website, but for me NOT to reveal her age. All I’ll say is that she’s just a year older than I am. (Did you all know that my birthday was this past Monday, and I turned 66?) Bron helped me carry water and pile up sand. She also packed a mold, but needed a little help getting it unmolded. The castle turned out lovely, and she wanted to be in the picture – here she is!

Carly is 5, and is from Milford, Delaware, and was a good listener, and built a very nice castle today, complete with trees, and with steps.

It was another beautiful day today. The weather said we’d have wind from the Southeast, but it was coming from the North, onshore, and cool.
Yesterday’s castle was crumbling, from the sun and wind, but still standing – so I wet it down, and added a village.

Today was a gorgeous day, with a nice onshore breeze from the North. The water had cleared up from Tuesday, when I was there last. There was a beautiful scent on the dunes as I walked through – not sure if it was the last of the beachplums, or some hidden flowers, but lovely.

I built and carved a castle on the beach late today – would have liked to have finished, but Irish Eyes was calling. Tonight was Danny Fisher’s last performance for the summer there.

We’ve had company from Houston, TX, and have taken them up to Pennsylvania, to see the Brandywine River Museum and Longwood Gardens, and haven’t had very much time on the beach.
We did get there for a little bit between rain storms.

I had a nice start on a castle today, but the storm clouds came rolling in fast, and I had to get off the beach fast. Luckily, Jack came down to save me!

The rain will help keep the sand wet for building tomorrow.
