Watching the beach wash clean with each in-coming wave can take your breath away.<br />And since the whales are migrating now, we can see mothers and babies swimming together.

Can you tell I'm a morning person too? I'm glad you liked the poem. Yes, I'm really enjoying my new home, if I only could get it organized. I keep working at that. I must admit I feel a little guilty when I look at winter temperatures on the mainland. It was 0 degrees in Rochester this morning. WOW. I have the windows and doors open, a gentle breeze is blowing through, and I'm bare foot.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-72106295049752356212016-02-13T15:17:41.952-08:002016-02-13T15:17:41.952-08:00Joy, I love this part:

I can tell you're enjoying your new home with its very sensible sunrise and sunset times.

I was going to say I wish I had read it yesterday morning on my birthday, but actually, I think I am glad for reading it the day after, when the birthday glow has already worn off.
