I think that’s what they […]

It has not been a splashy autumn, and I am getting grumpy about it. I did find one spot on Essex Road that came off fairly well even on a grey blustery day. On my way back to the Writing Studio and Bait Shop I spotted one of those silly deer statues on the neighbor’s […]
