Cape Cod Beauty Marks

I went to the Orleans Coin-A-Matic to do the wash...strange comfort in a place that has changed very little in decades. Since I was a girl, a newlywed, a woman yearning for a baby, a mother of Figgy, a legal guardian to Punch....

Have to dash....on Route 6 East to pick up Punchy when camp at Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary gets out. Pickup time is 2:15 to 2:45 range.

Quick list of beauty sightings:

1. Horseshoe crab armor, discarded as the creature molted and was ready for a bigger spiky suit. Its old one was caught in a sieve of sea grass.
2. Queen Anne's Lace growing in clumps by the roadside.
3. Seals in ocean.
4. Bunny rabbits.
5. Sugar and Punch on Uncle Tim's Bridge in Wellfleet.
6. Swaying marsh grass.
7. Bridge behind Coast Guard Beach, in Nauset Marsh.
8. Trail into the woods there, which Dan, Punch and I took.
9. Oyster shells.
10. Families together.
11. The bike path.
12. The worn, pine-needle cushioned road into Wellfleet Bay Sanctuary.
13. A lobster roll.
14. The moon last night!
15. Punchy's pure laughter when we watch funny movies on DVD at night in our Cape Cod living room. She is free to laugh like a happy child up here, on a peninsula in the sea, far from her past in both miles and minutes. She is also movie-watching with parents who are on break, too, not working or stressing so much.

Must go. Have a good day.
