sing like wildflowers
My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

We have sea lettuce here, too. Have you ever tried it? Especially when it can be plucked from clean, fresh waters, it’s a fun addition to salads.
This is my second time seeing them. I saw them years ago at low tide and there’s an abundance of them in the ocean by rocks. No, I have not tried them in salads. The texture must be a nice addition to salads.
I have never seen lettuce. Nice capture.
Thank you, Raj! The ocean has so many surprises.
Most welcome,My friend, Esther!
That’s ocean 🪸 surprise.
Ocean surprises! I could spend hours just looking at the shells, rocks, and whatever else washes ashore.
Thanks, Esther! I like to looking & spend time. So sweet ashore. You spend hour alone or a within.
I try to squeeze in some time by myself when I can, but it’s a busy season of my life as a homeschooling mama.
I hope you get some relaxing time to yourself too!
Yes,I some relaxing time my self. Very nice you doing homeschooling busy life. I like.
Sorry for disturbance you🙋
Strange looking thing
It’s a small one, but isn’t it cool?!
Yeah 🤣
Hmm – something new for me to see. You could have tucked it in your purse for Dart for when you got home. 🙂
It was floating in the water and I was scrambling to catch it before the waves carried it away! hahaha, it could’ve been a souvenir for Dart.
He might have been scared of it – it was bigger than he is. 🙂
He may have licked it first, just to see what the heck it is. And if it doesn’t taste like insects, he would turn away. He’s much happier with the warmer weather and that’s probably why he’s more active. In the winter, I feared for his health since he was less active and sleeping all day.
Dart would like it here – after our frost advisories twice last week, it was 80 the past few days. Today was an errand day and I didn’t sit down at the computer until 6:50 … I thought I’d never get done with errands, grocery shopping, then talked to my neighbor Jeff (Marge’s son) for a long time in the backyard. I am behind in Reader too. This is late for me to be up.
Errands take forever! There’s nothing like a slow errand day when you have two kids along with you. They’re better to tag along now than when they were younger. I had to get the double stroller out and their snacks, etc.
Are you getting your allergy shots again?
I have been having internet issues Esther … I just got a new modem last year (or year before), so I don’t know what is wrong and missed these three comments – I apologize.
Yes, it is easier now than before without toddlers. I remember going grocery shopping with my mom when I was very young. I’d sit in the seat in the grocery cart and I got a box of animal crackers. I’d hold onto that string like someone was going to take them away! 🙂
No worries about missing the comments. 🙂 I miss so much too.
Toddlers need their snacks and they’re so protective of it! We used to carry snack cups and water sippy cups everywhere with us. Ellis was a whole other story because she needed her milk pump and I wore that as a backpack and I wore her in the baby carrier in the front. All that explains the back and knee pain. lol
I am thre days behind now and we’re supposed to have another thunderstorm, so I’ll be happy if I can get through at least one day. You poor thing and you’re so petite to be carrying all the extra weight.
I’ve never seen sea lettuce. Sea weed, yes, and lots of it here now and then on our beaches. But never seen anything looking like that!! Sea lettuce. Looks gooooooey…
It’s not gooey but slightly slippery. It was cool to grab it and take a photo of it. I think sea lettuce comes from deeper water, and somehow this little ball of sera lettuce made it to the beach.
Do you like to eat sea weed? Koreans eat a lot of it, and seaweed soup is considered comfort and recovery food for when you’re sick.
Ohhhh, I can’t eat seaweed!!!! Because of my Graves Disease hyperthyroidism… no seaweed, no mercury, I don’t eat any Sea-anything!!! I can’t even do SPA therapy seaweed!!!
