A walk on the beach. Maybe not.
This morning the road was dry as far as the bluff overlooking the Bay. Even the railroad-tie stairs down to the beach were dry. Shall we try a little stroll on the beach? We shall. Then we saw the patches of slick ice camouflaged as sand, heard the hollowed out ice caverns creaking above the […]

People who light up the holiday
December 25, 2008
You might think that the parents of grown children would get to sleep in on a Christmas morning. Ha. Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and Miss Puss roused me out of a sound sleep with the news that all of them wished to go outside. Now. Pull on coat over pjs. Jam hat on head. Put boots […]
