Salty water moves
Undulating to the shore
Sailor’s lullaby


Calming ocean waves
Your beauty and peacefulness
Lull me to slumber
Sometimes I am glad I take a few extra videos and pictures. I had this one sitting on my phone and I don’t think I posted it before. I took this video when I went down to the beach earlier this year, 2021. How I wish I could just jump into this video and be there right now. Love the ocean, love the beach, anything associated with it.

This picture came across my Nest Hub Device this morning and it stopped me for a moment. As I stared at it this Haiku started to form. Inspiration comes at the most unusual of times. And if you ever thought about a smart device you should start with the Nest Hub. Of all the Devices I have owned (and I have tried many from Google and Amazon) this is currently my favorite. That’s it. You are now free to move around the blog.

I guess you guys noticed I’ve been away for a bit. And if you didn’t, well I guess that is okay too. If you did, then I am here to tell you that I hope to get back to regular posts as of this week. Spent some much needed time by the water last week and I just took a break from everything. It was a pretty good trip overall. Always enjoying anytime that I can spend on the beach. I wish I lived closer. Anyway, that’s it. Hope you have a great week.

Not at the beach today. Just kind of going there in my mind. Drop me a like if you are there or are like me drifting mentally away.

This is another one of mine that kind of got lost in the shuffle earlier this month. I liked the sound of it so I thought I would give it another shot at stardom this Christmas season.

Ocean breeze stirs the stockings
Hung with gentle care
