What draws us to the sea like flowers draw bees
immersed in nectar, a saline elixir of life?
Did we come from her? Is that why we summersault
in liquor amnii, prenatally, of water and salt?
Are we drawn by her siren’s song
because we are homesick and long,
long to go home to the sea?
Autumn of the Soul 
I vote: Yes … that’s why. 🤣

About 6 hours to Myrtle Beach in SC. We are planning a short trip in late summer or early fall. I like it best when the weather is not at its hottest.

Very! I held off turning the AC on but lost the battle last night. Guess I’ll be staying inside a lot. Hope my flowers survive.
