On the Beach

Winter at the beach is an exhilarating experience!  The sun is bright, and the wind is bracing, and the world around us is quiet this time of year. The birds go about their daily lives, ignoring us unless we get too close.

Polly got a new sweater at the Salty Dog Boutique last weekend.  It's a handmade wool dog sweater from a company called the "Chilly Dog", and organic wool and natural plant and fruit dyes are used to create safe clothing for our pets.  The sweaters are made in the Northern Highlands of South America by descendents of the Inca Indians.  All knitters and practices used to make these garments  use Fair Trade guidelines.
