Day 360 - 26th December 2014 - Terns, Wild Roses and Beaches

Looks like it's going to be a great day - weather wise - sunny but a little cooler. I see a day with some birding for us. Wonder which way we should go? Sometimes it's a case of when we get to the intersection we decide. Also depends on whether we are going a full day or part day, Larry mentioned something about working in the wood pile the other day. Might be half and half.
We had a great Christmas - lots of lovely gifts and as predicted lots of great food and family to spend the day with.  Weather was definitely the pits - torrential rain most of the day and you could see it rising in the ditches and woods. However, the sky was pink by sundown with promises of a nicer day ahead.
Grandmother's Journal:
25 Dec 1976:Xmas Day - a beautiful day, sunny and mild early. Clouded over but mild. Went up to see Catherine & family. Mother, Ruth, Albert & I. New house is lovely. We had a lovely Christmas. Had a delicious dinner with Bettie, Bobbie & kids.
26 Dec 1976: Overcast. Rain started around noon or sooner. Bob, Bobbie, Mike & Tom, looking snares. High winds and showers tonight. Jimmie dropped in this evening. Kim up for supper. I went down with Bettie & Sidney for noon lunch. 
Well it certainly wasn't a day for taking photos here, so I've gone back and dug out a few  from warmer days spent at the beach.

 Terns were great fun to watch if we didn't get too close. They liked to dive bomb us!

Crow's Neck Beach - beautiful spot on a summer days.

 Wild roses bloom everywhere.

 Blue skies and fluffy clouds like cotton candy.
