Grateful for..Beach Weather!

g'day...
today there is perfect beach weather...

sunny with a few clouds..
warm not windy..just a bit of a breeze...
this is the view from my computer window
looking towards noosa.

the sea will be warm...
children will be building sandcastles.

max and kara are going too...
to run
max has never been before!
i wonder what he'll think of those noisy waves...
and all that sand and water??

i made another cushion this morning..
while the household was snoozing
...it had to be a beach cushion!

beach balls, sun, sand and surf...


stripey beach umbrellas and strawberry and chocolate sundaes
for fun!

why am i grateful?

everybody is going to the beach....

except for me..

i'm having time to myself

to breathe
and read
and drink coffee!

alone time to refresh my soul
that's what i need.

naturally Carol xox

p.s....only 10 cushions to go!

pps...linking up with 'maxabella' for gratitude saturday!

    Awesome twist! Though I must say, being stuck in regional Victoria makes me a little jealous that you can happily turn down a beach day.
    Sunny coast hinterlands is definitely one of my face spots in aus.And you're so lucky to have that view.
    I was up there for Xmas and will be using some of me good shots for an upcoming Sunday Selections post. Keep an eye out for your house!

    didn't get to the beach this weekend (doubt I will get there tomorrow because of monkey's birthday party) so fingers crossed our silly weather holds out until I can get there next weekend. I really need to...I'm a bit stressed at the moment and I think the sea air is just what I need :-)
    have a great weekend

    It sounds so nice, alone-time with coffee and whatever you want to do. Love the beach cushion, the dots in cheery colours are just wonderful. And that blue sky with soft clouds, beautiful! Not jealous at all...

    We didn't have beach weather but it was 40 and sunny! Love a good cuppa...and the new cushion is, as usual, lovely. Enjoy your quiet time my friend.

    What a lovely scene from the window you have... Like your beachy cushions ... and yes you are so right that sometime alone sitting and sipping coffee is such a great time that no match to that time beauty...
    Hope you would like to spare a little bit of your time for my new post, it’s something different I hope you will enjoy …
