Bikinis, bare midriffs, muscles bulging under creamy suntan oil. Lost a few pounds this summer? Show it off at the beach!
Lazy lawn chairs lined up, beach
blankets laid out, towels hanging and drying, water jugs filled with
lemonade with a twist.
Sitting and sniffing and getting a
whiff of the poignant dune grass growing next to you,
watching a Monarch butterfly coming out
of a cocoon.
Seagulls everywhere! Dancing and
congregating, as if in a Cherokee Indian Ceremony. Lifting their
spindly legs and plopping down their wide webbed feet into deep hot
sand. Feeling like dancing with them!
Tossing a seagull a piece of my snack
bag popcorn, and seeing him eagerly fetching it. At least one
seagull will not go hungry today! I ask him "Would you like some butter and salt?" :)
Large blue sun umbrellas shading
children like a sukkah from fierce burning sunrays. Mist and spray of
the sea blowing westerly in my direction off the surface of the
wildly waving waters. Families erecting green, blue, and red
umbrellas like national flags, staking out beach boundaries and
territories to keep their children safe.
Brought a children's book titled
“Hanukkah” with me to the beach, flipping pages and they fan me
to keep cool. Imagining a freezing snowy day in December as the humid hot air blows sand onto my lap: dreaming of latkes cooked in kosher kitchens, knowing a future of
holiday seasons awaits me: Rosh Hashanah is only a few weeks away.
Green tart apples, sweet red apples, apple cobbler with cinnamon, all
delectable Rosh Hashanah treats to tickle my tummy, not forgetting the
honey!
Beaches are fun places to mingle, to
read a good book, to bask in the sun, to dream, to relax, to hope for
another fun day at the beach soon. Keepin' on comin' to the beaches
and havin' fun!
