It Rains Sometimes

In the morning Saturday seemed to be lost to storms. We did some rainy day things, including buying about 20 pounds of blueberries from the blueberry farm on James Street. Then some lunch. But by later in the afternoon the rains stopped, but the wind kept on keeping on. We had a pizza and salad dinner and then I walked south on the beach to the state park to see if the red warning flags were up. Sure enough the authorities were warning people not to swim, because of the danger in the water. Also, sure enough, there were quite a few swimmers testing the surf.


There was also a group trek to Tunnel Park, as is pretty normal for this week. We climbed the dune and several of us ran down the dune on the other side. I ran down it myself, but not with the same pizzaz as UH, PP, and the SLO's. I think this photo represents the activity on the dune pretty well - PP zigzagging down the sand.



As we walked back to the house on the dune the sun did a very nice job of setting in the west. It was a nice surprise after the way the day began. It was a nice sunset and a nice vacation day.


No tennis to report today, but a return to my schedule of doubles action is imminent.

We rode down to the state park and the flags were flying green today. Not much of a sunset though -- yet another cloud bank on the horizon.

Hope you got to play some tennis.
