Risking Peppermint Tea

February 18th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

A norte has been blowing for days, creating cool days and truly chilly nights; the ocean is foaming with three rows of waves and all that churning left a lot of organic debris on the beach. We found dozens of horseshoe crabs and star fish and mounds of seaweed. We’re staying in today to watch movies, drink tea and get some work done. I rode around on the bike for a while and it felt like spring, as if an entire imaginary winter had passed and I was out in just a sweatshirt for the first time in months. We hear that this is rather cold, even for February and we know that the weather all over is strange. I wonder what it all means. If anything?
