At Home at the Beach

As it's Spring Break this week, I'm spending the majority of it relaxing at the beach. First on the agenda was having new carpet installed (see pics on Facebook). I am so pleased with it!  Once they finished, I had some company as I was putting my apartment back together:

Looks like this young lady is losing her winter coat.

A little later, I noticed she had migrated to the front to see what was growing there:


She brought her mom and a sister along this time - mom was checking my car out for a bit before deciding it wasn't edible.


Apparently, there was a whole contingent checking out our yard!


They wandered across the street to where a new house is being built poking around the framework. The young ones were playing in the large sand pile off to the left out of camera vision.


I also noticed that the neighbors have a cool, new windmill!


Finally, after the apartment was all back in order, I made it to the beach for an evening walk and found these velella creatures. Here's more about them!


There are hundreds of these scattered along the beach this week!


I joined some locals for a brief photo shoot, then headed home to enjoy my new carpet!
