Its A Blow-Out

Usually  by this time in a winter, I've posted several pictures of the River frozen over.  Last year, there were ice breakers on the river further north.

This year, Jaxon and I've been playing fetch on the beach and practicing for the Polar Bear Plunge all through February!  I am loving this winter.

This morning, Jax and I went out for potties and there was SO much MORE beach than usual.
Lots O Beach
There was Blow Out Tides this morning.  The weather service said that tides would be about 3 feet LOWER than usual.  Jaxon and I took advantage of the extra beach to play ball and check out things.

This is the anchor that I attach a bouy to so friends with boats can tie up.

I am standing where I normally drop my crab pots in the summer.
Jaxon and I weren't the only ones on the beach this morning.  A neighbor was out changing out the chains on his anchor bouy.  And the kitties joined us.

Saylors wanted to stroll on the beach.
Jaxon wanted to play with Shadow

Overall, it was a lovely way to start the day.  A walk on the beach.  Lots O'Beach!

  2. We are all about THE BEACH around here! Nelson (the dog) goes ballistic when we hit the beach. He runs like mad, chasing the gulls and sand pipers, begging us to throw his ball, and digging, digging, digging.
    so glad you guys had a nice beach day!

  4. wow..that seems a whole lot different than last year. You are fortunate to live so close to the beach and get fresh crabs too!
    hope you have a great week.
