This rental house borders a pond, and if you look directly across the pond you can see the ocean, even the tide breaking on rocks off shore. The last two days fog has obliterated that view, such that in the early evening you may not even see the lights of nearby houses. This morning we awoke to full sun and a clear view. The skies is not my classic blue, but more like a reflection of the pond.
Last night we (Mark, Ginger, and Dan – Adam and Tricia arrive today around noon) ate shrimp with cream cheese and crackers covered in opalescent pink caviar Mark brought back from Oslo. The kind of that pops on the roof of your mouth. Linda, home with Paxie and her new puppies, provided chicken noodle soup and a spanokopita that, unlike Jennifer’s, is baked in a spiral and looks an awful lot like a long intestine. Though vegetarian, we decided to eat it without Adam. Save him the sight, I guess. it was all delicious.
If you walk out the back door you quickly enter an Alice in Wonderland like area of dark green growth. A short path wends through bushes then thick and tall sea grass. This hundred feet or so between everyone’s mowed lawn and the water is teeming with birds.
I don’t know what Ginger is describing, but I like the pose.
View from the edge.

We’re wondering where the pond, the rental house and you are? (Don’t worry, we won’t drop in unexpectedly.)

The Google Earth view that I can access seems to be from before when there was a house on your side of the road, or else I’m misunderstanding something. You’re looking south, right? I mean, when you look across the pond to the ocean.
