While spending the day at our favorite beach, Maddie and I found a stick poking up out of the sand, and we thought it would make a wonderful clock arm.

So we did some beach combing, and found another stick. When the hour was straight up, we poked our new stick into the ground at the end of our clock arm.

And on the next hour we did the same....

...and again....

and in between there were splashes and tiny shells and sandcastles....

What a wonderful way to mark the passing of a lovely day!
