Some bounty

Well last night was a perfect evening, we are finally getting some food from the garden. We harvested a large amount of strawberries and then we chopped up some Rhubarb...Heather made a fantastic pie last night. I am generally not a fan of anything sweet but it was a real taste of fresh and clean produce. Can't go wrong with that. I managed to get two cord of wood split yesterday so it was nice to sit down to a meal out in the gazebo by the pond. At this time of year we really only eat outside. We take full advantage of what we can get with the season. It is refreshing as well. Today it is such a wonderful day we must take a quick drive to the beach. As I have mentioned before we are fortunate with where we live that we are so close to the ocean. It takes less than 15 minutes to get there, why wouldn't you just want to go for a dip. Most people would be surprised to think of nice sandy beaches here in New Brunswick,Canada however we have what is considered to be the warmest beaches north of the Carolina's in the USA. With such large tidal movements over the hot sand it heats the water so rapidly. It is sometimes hard to believe that some people have never got the chance to see the oceans. I feel the water provides so much strength...rawness(if that even is a word).
I hope you all feel a day of joy
