EASTER ON SANDDOLLAR BEACH!

An Easter outing inspired this bunny after finding all those sanddollars (count them!) on Sanddollar Beach! The head is actually a live clam that we dug - it's unusual to dig such a large clam on that beach. It was also the first time that I have found Sanddollars with their mouths facing up! We have had some wicked winds and waves, so that may have accounted for their being upside down.

We actually drove down to the north end of the island, and limited our outing because of the cold wind. Even digging that clam was painful since the mittens had to come off! But it was beautiful as this picture shows. There were a few gulls looking for goodies to eat, and ironically one found a quahog which is rather unusual. Again, the high seas may have accounted for its being available.

I am heading down to Connecticut for a few weeks, and won't have access to the computer to report to you. When I do get back, I will try and reflect on the differences in the weather patterns. Here in Maine, it is still very cold with snow flurries possible this week. I have a feeling in Connecticut, the frogs will be singing and I can't wait to seek them out. Anyway, Please put up with a little static in the Strand Line, and Happy Easter to you!
