AND CHOOSING

Posted on August 12, 2008 by colleen

Company comes; times alter. Rosehips are turning orange, soon to be fooling walkers-by into thinking they are little tomatoes and then the puckers come. But always we read. Millie is reading Simon Winchester’s Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August … Continue reading →

It’s a wonderful day in Tenants Harbor: soft sun, quiet breeze, cooing mourning dove (I think) and a harbor full of dinghies to welcome back lobstermen later in the day. Fig. #33. (Picture from Fig. #26 repeated by accident, but … Continue reading →
