"A real home is a shelter from the storms of life, a place in which to relax, a place of peace and rest." ~ Dr. Clifford R. Anderson
Welcome to my HOME everyone! Hope you're all having a wonderful week.
This week I set a tea out on the lawn beneath our maple tree. I used my treasured Johnson Bros. Rose Chintz china and it was a perfect day filled with birdsong!
As most of you know, one of my very favourite places to be in the summertime is at the beach. Alas, our beach days are behind us for another year but I thought I would take you on a little tour of some of the beautiful shores on PEI.
We are blessed with so many lovely beaches here on Prince Edward Island because, you see, we are surrounded by water.
This past Summer Hubby and I spent time at several beaches; Basin Head, Brackley beach, Dalvay, and Stanhope. Brackley, Dalvay, and Stanhope are all on the north shore.

"Sit in reverie and watch the changing colour of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind." ~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Basin Head has been named the number one beach in Canada.
Basin Head
The sand here is a beautiful shade and appears to be pink and white.
But the most unique characteristic about this beach at Basin Head is that the sand "sings" underfoot when you walk on it. Because of this extraordinary sand, Basin Head has been dubbed the 'Singing Sands.'
I will miss our beaches, and this winter as I snuggle into our home, I will dream about it, until once again, I can wiggle my toes in the soft warm sand.
"Our memories of the ocean will linger on, long after our footprints in the sand are gone." ~ Anonymous
