Sand and Sea Sunday

I am joining my favorite mermaid over at Gypsea Nurse
for Sand and Sea Sunday today.


Only a few more weeks until we can get out on Glen Lake and enjoy the morning sun as it sparkles across the blue water.
This is my daughter paddling away during that beautiful morning sunlight.

    Love the sun sparkling off the water. We went out in our boat today, but its still pretty chilly, and no way warm enough to swim yet -- looking forward to the warm days! Have a great week!
