It was also a winter where I didn't make it to the beach, not even once. That's hardly surprising considering I have a little human in tow now though.
Is this going to be a sea glassing post?
NOPE. I WISH.
I mean, remember when I used to post every. sea. glass. haul. EVER?
We did try to make it to Bluff Point yesterday though.
In the jogging stroller for the first time!
We drove all the way to Groton to meet his dad for a walk after he got out of work (he works as a carrier for USPS in Westbrook, CT), and we hadn't even gone walking there since almost exactly a year to the day--the day we saw Buddybear during the ultrasound for the first time (Well, the first time where he actually looked like a human being and not just a gestational sac.) Once we got Buddybear out of the car and into the jogging stroller, we made it about two minutes down the path before we had to admit it was far too windy and cold for our little tyke.
Which led to a very confusing 10 minutes for Buddybear.
We decided to go home and walk there, where we thought it was less windy, since it was hardly windy at all yesterday. Turns out the wind was here to stay, so we gave up.
Today it's considerably warmer, but I tried to drink a coffee on the porch in a tank top and decided I was better off indoors. AGAIN.
Meanwhile, in additon to the #buttonaday posts on instagram, I decided to tackle @lu_and_ed 's #creativedaily . I'm really having a blast with my shop instagram account.
In other news, Buddybear is going to be 6 months old on the 13th--when did that happen? I know I'm going to be saying the same thing when he's 6 years old, which is going to be like tomorrow, right?
I mean, it's been 7 years since I first went specifically sea glassing in Watch Hill, and Watch Hill is where Taylor Swift lives, and Shake it Off is one of Buddybear's favorite songs. No joke. It's my fault but he smiles every time it comes on.
Oh, remember when my sea glass display looked like this? I don't either. (September 2009) That white cabinet is definitely my spice rack in my kitchen now.
Since I moved out of my mother's basement in 2010, my sea glass has been bagged up and put away. I think we're going to eventually put it in the bay window in our bedroom, but I don't want the window to fall off the house. LOL
It's a massive work in progress, though I do miss taking my sea glass out and just messing around for photos.
Also September 2009...definitely curious as to how I will photograph it differently whenever I unpack it! I started working as a photographer professionally a year after this and I've learned a ton since.
I know, short blog post. I'm still getting back into the hang of things. :)
