Cottage Time...


We have escaped to the cottage...
which is located on a Southern Gulf Island just a short ferry ride away from home.
We stayed inside our car on the ferry and brought all our provisions with us.


The Salish Eagle ferry runs several times each day and services three Gulf Islands.


I bought some cheery yellow tulips at the grocery store before we hopped on the ferry...
Not sure that we would have such sunny weather...
  thought they would bring the sunshine indoors!


Love the flotsam and jetsam on the driveway of this home.

One of our regular walks close to the cottage is about 3 km.
There is a beach at the end of the road...
we like to walk down and gather sea glass,
the tides were so high that there was no beach to be found!


We also gather feathers on our walks...


Some sea glass from the beach after the tide went out...
the vintage Ball Sealer jar is almost full.
We have two jars filled at home.
Time to buy another vintage jar for more sea glass.


Yesterday, we were ambitious and took a longer walk to Hope Bay.
It was almost 7 km return.
( I managed to clock over 10,000 steps)

Saw this festive gate at The Old Manse near the Bible Camp.
We saw very few people and even fewer cars...
so quiet, it was like we were all alone on the island.
Very peaceful and serene.

Life moves slowly here at the cottage...
Eat, walk, read, sleep
repeat.

Relaxing

Thinking, pausing, feeling fortunate and grateful
while writing this blog post...

Lots to think about in these strange times.

How are you keeping? 
How are the Covid numbers where you live?
Are you managing to keep yourself busy and amused?

Hope that you are staying safe, wearing your mask and taking care.
