The weather is improving

Last night, I believe was the tail end of the ruff sea waves and the tail end of Tropical Storm Fay. I don't know her current status, but she was leaving us with less wind and breaks in the clouds where the sun almost peaked through. I did not bring my camera, when mom and I went to the North entrance of the beach. I figured it was too dark to get any good shots. Plus, it didn't seem like we would be there for a long time. When I got out of the car, I went to the ledge in front of the park structure cover, I gazed more at the soft off color white sand. It was kind of wet from the rain and packed down.The sand did not have many people walking on it close to where the park structure cover was located. The people on the beach were mostly close to the water's edge. There were a couple of kids playing in the shallow water. There was one young couple venturing out into the churning ruff water battling the waves. There were surfers perched on their surf boards waiting for the ideal wave to bring them into the shoreline. The evening seemed pretty peaceful with the wind blowing against my face. Mom thought the young couple should not have ventured out in the water, after hearing about the 35 year old lady who drowned from being pulled under by a rip current. Fortunately, there were no tragic situations on our beach. The harmony was there between man and ocean. Everyone got along together fine. Mom and I even made friends with a couple of black shaggy rug looking New Found land dogs who enjoyed being petted and made over like they were special. I asked the owners questions like how much do they eat? The answer is 8 cups of dog food. How old were they? One was a raised from a puppy and the other 2 years old. Both dogs young in age, but intelligent looking adults with puppy eyes and a body like a moving shag carpet. When we were about to leave, I could hear the sounds of more barking little dogs. I never got to see their appearance, but I figured they were a lively bunch by the level of constant barking. When we arrived home, the power was on and the television set was there to greet us. Mom had a small glass of wine and I settled in at the computer writing to my online buddies. The end to a pretty good Friday.
