Faramond, the Architect and Travelin' Gal meet for lunch.
What a beautiful day to have lunch at the beach, normally the weather is foggy and cold, which wouldn't normally be that bad if you were sitting in front of a roaring fire, sipping warm cider cuddled up under a blanket.
But the sun was out, the tide was coming in, and we sat together in a cozy little corner in a world of our own. We could hear a fog horn off in the distance. Yes, we talked about New Island and about the places that we'd been too, sharing our little stories of what we'd seen, heard, and oh we just chatted on and on.
Perhaps Faramond will take sometime out of his busy schedule and paint the scene to be remembered as only an artist can.
All the boats, people out and about, the day was magical - there was great anticipation waiting for the news that the Giant Waves were headed our way! Surfers at the ready to grab their boards and head out to sea and take their chances for the ride of their life! You would never know it from the calm sea photo above but those huge waves are a coming right for us1

As for those who are wondering what happened to those crazy kids - their hot air ballon landed in a very large tree and they had to be rescued.....but after some quick repairs and after few bumps and scratches had tended to they took off again. Have't heard if they found the horses bet they will keep trying until they do or until they run out of fuel.
And Hopp's place has been doing a booming business, guess from all reports the new Privy is a big hit with the locals and the new graffiti inside and out being tastefully done, comic book style of course, wonder who is behind that?
The weather is still very unpredictable, going from one season to the next - soon I will have to check in with Fred and see what's going on at the Community Garden, bet that everyone is itchin' to get back together and play in the dirt!
And last but not least we are in for a real treat, we should be able to see the full eclipse of the sun!
It will be in the eastern sky about an hour after local sunrise, provided that the weather cooperates and we have a clear morning. The Moon will completely cover the sun for two minutes!
Check out SunEclipse-Watch.NewIsland.com for how to watch it safely and anyone who captures a photo - send it along and I will post it for everyone to see!
