September 16=Beach time

We finally go to the beach, just as Summer is ending, but Mason likes it better then.  He had fun running from the waves:
 

but look at these stones:

They are all tiny tiny pebbles.  I love the translucent  ones.

Sleepy Mason

Mason the Greyhound enjoyed the air mattress while we had it out for guests.  It's his favorite bed.  The cats all find perches near the open windows; the weather has been beautiful since those hot days last week.

At the Rockaways

Since this weekend was (comparatively) so warm we decided to go to the beach.  We love going to empty beaches in the winter with Mason the Greyhound so that he can run and play in the sand.  Luckily, the weather couldn't have been better, and we had nearly free run of the whole beach. He had lots of fun and is only slightly sore today--

I know, now my secret's out. . . I am one of those crazy greyhound people.  But look at him! I can't get over this last sandy nose picture--he's so happy and ridiculously adorable.
