Day forty-one - I love...boats and ships

I haven't been sailing since I was pregnant with my son - about 16 years ago - but I still have a great love of boats.

one day, I'd love to sail across the Atlantic. but for now...pictures of boats and sailing will have to suffice.

Day forty - I love...flowering things

For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. ~ Edward Abbey

Flowers don't worry about how they're going to bloom.  They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful. ~ Jim Carrey

You belong among the wildflowers, you belong in a boat out at sea, Sail away, kill off the hours, you belong somewhere you feel free. ~ Tom Petty "Wildflowers"

Day twenty-four - I love...Ferry Boats

One of my most favourite, most wonderful, happy-making things to do...is ride the ferry boat.

It's been the same routine since I was a little girl.

As soon as I'm on the boat I run up the stairs, throw open the heavy doors, race to the back of the boat and watch as we pull away from the dock. Because I have to see the daiquiri ice!

Allow me to explain...when I was little I was allergic to ice cream, but I could have sherbets and ices, so when my mother would take me to Baskin Robbins, I always ordered Daiquiri Ice.  It was my favourite.

It was when I was about 6 or 7 years old that I looked at the water churned up by the boat pulling away, and exclaimed to my mother "Mama! look! it's like Daiquiri Ice!"

And it just stuck.

Daiquiri Ice!

The second part of my ferry boat routine, once we've pulled away from the dock and the boat is done churning up all that lovely sea-foamy water, I high-tail it to the other end of the boat and stand at the front with the wind whipping past my ears until the cold makes me crawl back inside.

Day twenty-three - I love...water

The last few days I've been thinking it would be really great if the weather would warm up enough for me to go down and sit on one of the swing-benches down by the Ohio River.

because I start to get a little bit antsy when I'm not by the water.

Ocean is best.

Lakes are lovely.

Rivers and streams are glorious.

A few of my favourite ocean places:  (pictures by me.)
