Summertime! Really? Let's go to the Beach!

Summer is here, although it has been hot for weeks, and now it's cooled down and raining. A nice break.
I wish I could send some rain to Texas and Arizona!
I have been thinking of beachcombing, and the cool pacific ocean,

so I took a few photos of my shell collection I keep in Jars in the bathroom.

. 

I added a fresh gardenia from my neighbors bushes. She is so nice to share.

I do think the two go together perfectly.

We collected all the shells from Oregon and Fl. except the starfish.

I tried that, and you just can't get the bad smell from them.

So anyone ready for some cool ocean air?
