<\/a>Figure #88. Can you practically see the early boats in the mist? Ignore the mowed lawn and the Esst Wind's Chandlery. Then the fun comes in deciding whose boats they are.<\/p><\/div>\n
The Willow Street Bakery molasses doughnuts are as good as ever, especially with very hot, quite-dark-roast, coffee. The Bakery has changed owners at least three times and location once in my time here, but the recipe must go with the sales, thank heavens. When Garby and Tim were Hall\u2019s Market, they had Willow Street molasses doughnuts twice a week which, with the beans on Friday, you had to reserve if you wanted any. The sights and smells were apparently too much for newbies to ignore. So the summer regulars met the challenge.<\/p>\n
Heavy day today with high humidity, low clouds or dense fog, and intermittent rain. Some breeze, though. I\u2019m about 2\/3 way through David Grann\u2019s Lost City of Z<\/strong> and though it is well-written, it is more about Percy Fawcett than about the author\u2019s preparations to search for him and Z.

Fog assures me some browsers, even if the idea of RB only occurs to them as they walk down Sea Street past the RB sign on the corner maple tree.\u00a0 Yesterday, RB returnees mentioned that they could see the new, very\u00a0 YELLOW chair on the porch from their boat.\u00a0 Better than a flashing neon rose, I say.<\/p>\n Webcam problems at the moment. Trust me; it\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wonderful wild roses — flat, pink with a cream center — are sprouting from the cleared rocks of my roadside stone wall. Clearly they have found spots which suit them. The rosa rugosa hedge blossomed and spread and allowed wrong … Continue reading
