The Rock of Eastport
On a recent morning the air hinted of spring and the beach was passable. Miss Sadie, the Cowboy and I had a wonderful time on our walk. I was particularly pleased with some of the snapshots I took, including this one: Then I saw what Greg Jolliffe had done with his rock over on the […]
Letters from Babs: Bluejay in budding maple

“Gerry, come look at this!” OK. I trailed after Angie, out the back door of the IGA. Hanging up there in the sky was a perfect new moon pointing at Venus. 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 […]
