sand pipers

when i was a little girl, we stayed at an inn called the sand piper. i remember wearing the teeshirt that bore the inn's logo--the little bird in ambery brown dye, very 70's. i wore it as a nightgown, the white cotton sticking to my sunburned skin. the pipers went away for a long time, probably due to super-development on the beaches, but this summer, for some reason, they were back.
