Summer Time

The view to the left at one of our favorite spots on the beach- the north end of Hampton Beach.



The view to the right at the same spot.

The tiniest starfish I ever saw, found under a rock at low tide by Mark and Zoe.


This, our first summer in New Hampshire, has been a dry one- but only weather wise.  We have had beautiful, sunny days- and some refreshing, wonderful and simply amazing walks on the beach.  We had the heat wave that hit most of the eastern US last week, bringing temperatures to 100 degrees here in this usually cooler part of the world.  Yesterday afternoon, we were glad to see rain.  It was a relief from the sun and I found myself wishing for a long gentle soaking rain to nourish the earth here.  Today we have cooler temperatures that are very pleasant, and a sky promising more rain soon.  I must say, I hope the promise is fulfilled.
