We have been out of commission for a bit here at The Four Tides. There has been floor staining, painting, gardening--all in preparation for two very large arrivals. Summer is our most busy time. Each weekend we welcome new visitors and say farewell to others. It is a torrent of people on holiday and, even if Allan and I have jobs to report to, vacation mode is infectious.
The other, monumental arrival is the birth of our child. Though The Four Tides may not be quite ready for its newest occupant, we can't wait. Each day we do the most we are able, as well as fulfill the obligations of our real life. Yesterday I was on a photo shoot for a special summer magazine I am helping to produce, and these slices of watermelon from the shoot remind me of the excitement to come.

I was just talking about watermelon today as I described to my sweet little crumb how I can't wait for us to picnic at the beach with cold watermelon slices in our hands!
Hello,
I'm stopping by from Lidy's to welcome you to the land of blog.
Wonderful images and stories. I'll be back to see you again.
I can hardly wait for summer. And how special it will be for you to enjoy with your new little one.
It's adorable how the slices of watermelon make you think of your little one and all the excitement to come. You are going to be the best mom!

I love summer, but even more than summer, I LOVE babies! The fresh smell of a tiny bundle of joy! I've got a new grandson on his way in July, I can hardly wait!
Take care, Sue
