T Stands for Another Boat Picnic

Happy Tuesday everyone. Time for a celebration for 7 years of T, HURRAH! And  I also have some art with once again a beach theme to share also.

This is a page I drew and painted except for all the sunglasses which are die cuts as well as the quote which I stamped many times.  It's my page for today at my When It's Hot challenge at Art Journal Journey

And it also works with  my T day post today.

This past Sunday was a steamy but beautiful day. My daughter  was home for a couple of days, so we packed another picnic, got the dogs into their life jackets and headed out for another trip by boat to the beach. Because it was such a warm and sunny day, it was much more crowded day than what I showed you last week.

The beach area we boat to is on the edge of a State Park and isn't really as big as many of the beaches along the shore.  This one is in a harbor and is only accessible by either boat or by hiking through the state park. But since it was a nice day you can see lots of boats. These boats come in and anchor.

We boated in also, but we  anchored out in the harbor so we could social distance more.

But with the heat, that didn't stop me for going in for a dip off the back of the boat.

My daughter also joined in the fun, but my husband stayed aboard the boat. The water off New Hampshire  is very  cold, and I only go in when the air is really hot. It takes me awhile to get down the boat ladder because I have to basically get used to the cold, which means becoming numb. But it does bring down the inner core temperature! We were floating around on the boat's bumpers which are actually used for  when we are docked somewhere so the side of the boat doesn't get all scratched up

.

And my husband put each of the dogs in too, one at time, just to cool them down. No photos as we were still in the water with them and my husband was helping them out of and then back into the boat.

And lunch was another chicken salad sandwich as well as some chips and grapes.

And today I had a beer, but I managed to photograph the side of the bottle not the front. 

This is what you'd see on the front  of the bottle or can.

As my husband says, you can't go wrong with an Old Brown Dog , if you like a brown beer that is. Hanging out at the beach is a relaxing way to spend part of a Sunday, and it was nice to be out and about but still socially distanced from others.

I do think my husband would have rather gone fishing, but even he admitted the seas were really rough at 3-5 feet. Which is big for a little boat.

Wishing Elizabeth another 7 years of T!
