maggie and milly and molly and may

by: E.E. Cummings

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

Our shower walls and ceiling are complete!  Today Scott got a tutorial from one of our tile installers on how to do the floor...we had decided to do this ourselves as mentioned before to save on materials & labor costs, and add something organic & our "own style" to our home....

Here are some pics of the progress, despite our efforts to have enough beach stones, he still didn't have "quite enough"!  More have been harvested- and he'll be back at it tomorrow!  (note the tile walls look a bit brown, but are truly grey in color..) & the floor will still be grouted once all stones are down...so use your imagination.  The best news was we had selected "perfect" stones according to Nate, the installer- thank goodness, we had this nagging worry a milk crate & a 5 gallon bucket of stones could be "all wrong"!
