Sea Glass: Trading Marbles – Sort of…

“I found my first purple,” he said, “I never found purple.”
 
He, C, is four and my neighbor’s grandson. I see him a lot in the summer, enough to keep my daughter’s battery operated cars Thomas train tracks available for his visits. He loves to sea glass hunt and tires of it far less quickly than [...]

Poetry as Solace

Poetry feeds my spirit. I turn to it the way some turn to psalms or meditation or motivational speakers. Poetry is cooked from scratch feelings and thoughts served into the air and always fresh. I devour it on days when I worry if I’m too serious, introspective or too anything. Poets use the world, internal [...]

A Poem from A Blog Reader & Book Marks

This is a poem a reader of this blog sent along in the comments section of the “About Me” page. She has agreed to let me share it on the blog with other sea glass lovers.

Sea Glass Blue
Helen Mary
Seeks the blue
Sea worn glass
Beside the pool
Where the tide lays
On the shore
By rocks
Small stones
Sea fairies store
Though green [...]

Hingham Farmers Market, 3

There were over twenty vendors at the market today in Hingham. I’ve added just a few more photos.
It was glorious weather and there was coffee and sunshine and friends and families and regular and first time shoppers. If the weather stays as nice as it was today (or just not too cold or rainy), it [...]

I Asked the Ocean – Prose Poem – Draft

This is a prose poem I’m working on.
I Asked the Ocean, draft
Where’s my peace?
Sea weed in my hair,
sharp muscle shells cutting soles,
dead jelly fish on graveled sand and a bloated rat, face up,
swelling the shore line.
You call this sanctuary?
For Christ sakes, you’re a mess,
plastic bottles and metal cans,
broken boat lights and bacteria -
polluted.
 
“Sit,” she said. “Sit.”
She [...]

Hingham Farmer’s Market – Pictures – 2

O.k., here’s the group that keeps the farmers market going. It’s wonderful to see people arrive with empty canvas, cotton or plastic bags and leave holding flowers, vegetables and bread and jam. The Tapendade/Pesto woman is great too but she was so busy I couldn’t get her permission to get a picture.
The Best Damn Granola [...]

Sea Glass Angel Necklace

Here she is in necklace form. She’s my first sea glass angel necklace. I think she’s just adorable and I have to decide if I’ll do ornaments, necklaces or both but she’s suble and sea-glassy and makes me happy. I’ve returned to few beads and a lot of wire or silver. It’s fun because it [...]
