to the sea

 

greg and i were on the road sunday morning at 9 am . .

there was a lot of erosion with the last storm . . 

 

the stairs to the beach were cordoned off and we had to enter at the next hotel. we were amazed to see that the wood was split . . 

and the beams were pushed to the side at an angle.

the shore keeps changing and looks so different from when i was a child.

the sandpipers are so fast and so adorable .  .

it was such a beautiful, clear day that i couldn't stop exclaiming over it. and it was cold. winter is finally here.

 

the first thing i did at the house, was rummage around for a few christmas decorations . . 

this fellow needs a santa hat . . 

sunset . . 

 

 dinner was new england clam chowder from stuart's fish market in amagansett,

 

with cod and bay scallops, broccoli and french fries.

good morning.

i finally got started on my sweater.

 

lunch was leftovers and . . 

 

 manhattan clam chowder.

before leaving, greg picked up double aa batteries for me from the hardware store so i could set up two candles in the window,

and the christmas tree on a timer, 

and we left a chocolate santa for adam who will be doing a quarantine visit before going home for christmas to my sister.

 

 we thought it would be nice to stop in sag harbor on the way home . . 

 

 

and then into town , . which was busy, considering that these are covid days and it was rather cold.

i visited one of my favorite stores, the variety store,

where i always bought sugar and cream yarn to knit hot mitts for my mom. the store sells so many interesting things: fabric, towels, yarn, ribbon, buttons, chocolate for the holidays, dishes, toys, cloth flowers, cards . . !

we visited the bookstore and the health food store, 

and came across the mail box for santa's workshop at the north pole.

and then back on the road again . . homeward . .
