I love living on the sea, I love the simplicity of our existence there, I love our friends there, the town of Damariscotta, walking down Main St. and greeting people, visiting Maine Coast Books and having Sue or Laurie or Kathleen or Susan lead me to the "best new book you HAVE to read." <br /><br />I miss waking up to the sun rising over Pemaquid Point, to the loons calling, to the scent of firs and a crackling fire in our fireplace, but I LOVE being close to my family and friends here in California. I love picking strawberries, figs, and guavas and squeezing fresh oranges for the first sip of sunshine.<br /><br />Luckily right now I can experience both worlds and for that I am grateful.<br /><br />Sending love,<br /><br />SharonSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-35005114887610181232010-11-14T22:55:22.171-08:002010-11-14T22:55:22.171-08:00I just love getting to see your garden in photos. ...I just love getting to see your garden in photos. I adore pineapple sage and loved seeing yours in bloom. Mine is long past that now...it snowed off and on today. Very pretty but not very nice for the garden. I did pick some parsely for a recipe today though. I think I got my very first pineapple sage at Heart's Ease. I have so many memories of first "meeting" herbs that were new to me there. My mouth just waters over those pineapple guavas. My beloved grandma grew them and I haven't found any since moving here 8 years ago. Many wonderful things about Utah..but I do miss my lemon tree, avocados and guavas!<br />Have a wonderful week!Aunt Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722500555023093431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-37688371211052665972010-11-14T17:30:08.508-08:002010-11-14T17:30:08.508-08:00It all looks so beautiful, Sharon!

I will keep you on top of the list if I ever get tired of the quilt..<br />Thank you for encluding doves and hummingbirds in your book for the children..<br />Just today seagulls were flying over Gary and I while we were waiting for our commuter tain and low and behold the seagull droped a poop right next to Gary and only missing his head by a inch (we are still laughing). I will try not to be frightened really I will. I think also it brothers me that the birds make such quick and speedy movements. We have had a bird fly right into the front window of our car, it was terrible... <br />Have a restful weekend, I plan on doing some sewing. <br />Big hugs, ElizabethElizabeth and Gary https://www.blogger.com/profile/15849231608931954395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434499602695302521.post-22049434374547025372010-11-10T19:47:43.583-08:002010-11-10T19:47:43.583-08:00Such a lovely place...sigh:-) My 6yo daughter Lyd...Such a lovely place...sigh:-) My 6yo daughter Lydia loves birds.
