Yesterday we were lazy. We picked up a few groceries and a pizza. Tony walked Siggy in the morning and we both walked him (or he walked us – no leash – we just followed him on his route – he’s a dachshund) around the neighborhood. Tony wore a hooded sweatshirt and asked if I were going to get a jacket. No. I will for the next walk. Temp in the mid-60’s and a beach wind blowing. There are tame deer all over this island. When we got almost back to the house, there were 5 bucks, all with velvet on their horns, playing and pawing at each other on the dunes.
Today, we watched the Coast Guard doing practice rescues right in front of the house. There is a Coast Guard Air Station here on the island. We watched them drop people into the water and then hoist them up in baskets. It was really interesting to watch. We then drove down to the harbor and walked along the beach. It is strange to see smooth rocks and no shells all washed up. There were signs to stay away from seal pups, but we didn’t see any. Then we rode to one of the beach access roads closer in to town – they allow driving on the beach in certain areas.
Marion’s “pet” seagull. He waits for Siggy (short for Sigmund – Marion is a retired psychology professor) to finish his food, then he gets the leftovers. He walks up and down the railing until we take the food out to him.
