Letters from Katherine: Orange a la gull.
March 3, 2009
Katherine writes: Gerry this may be too late for the photo that tells a story but I was out on the ice walking the dog and I happened across an orange. No idea where it came from or how it got there but I love the bird tracks around it. You could almost hear what […]

February 28, 2009

It was warmer inside, where displays compete for attention near the entrance. Flower and vegetable seeds next to insulated gloves and ice scrapers. Must be spring […]

The powerful and the powerless
February 27, 2009
We’re having wet snow, sleety rain, and falling temperatures that pretty much guarantee a very bad morning commute, even for Miss Sadie and the Cowboy, who have only to go as far as the mailbox and back. Not only do I have no idea at all what to write about, I’m not even sure I […]
