If you don’t know me personally, you may not know how much I love the beach. Fair-skinned and freckly though I am, I long to get back there. Today, I am reliving building sand castles last summer. And counting the days, with a lovely beach count down chain, until we get back there again…Sigh…
Sharing a post from the July 2010 Hodgepodge archives, which you could consider the Habit of Making Drip Castles…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On beach trips growing up all I knew were drip castles. I never imagined using buckets and shovels to shape and define castle walls. See when we went to the beach we walked a good long way from the house to the shore. Most folks drove their dune buggies. Now that I’m a Mama I realize that was probably the reason why we didn’t tote building supplies.
My mother, father and grandmother all taught me and my brother the art of drip castle building. All you need is sand and water. Both abundant at the seashore.
When we go each year, now with our children, we don’t have as far to walk but I still go back to drip castles. It’s comfortable and beautiful. Join me at Habits for a Happy Home for the rest of this favorite from the archives…
