Rugosas, the Ocean, and Queen Anne's Moon



We face south toward Cushing's Island and then the open ocean.  As the sun sets on one side, the moon rises on the other.  We are suspended in time, with the seagulls, sailboats, and tankers for company.  The cats sleep soundly here.  My mind empties itself of all but wave following wave.

  1. Oh, Gigi, it looks enchanting. As I learn the ropes of this new job, I'm so happy to think of you on your magic island.
    Hugs to you two and the cats.
