    Hi

    It would be nice to be buried beneath the pearly white sand! The sand looks really beautiful. At Ibusuki in Kyushu(the third largest island of our country) you can see many people being buried beneath the sand on the beaches. We call it "sand bath", for hot springs percolate through the sand on the beaches. Her grandsons on the beach remind me of the Ibuski sand therapy.

    The cottage is so lovely! Your posts always make me happy because you look happy and relaxed surrounded by good friends and wonderful nature.

    Hello Sapphire

    I would love to experience what you describe in Kyushu and it must be so therapeutic and refreshing. The two boys spent had a great time.

    Thank you for your kind comments and we are truly blessed to have good friends.
    May your week be spectacular.
