I suppose the event of this past week was Winter Storm Gail. This was another Nor’easter that just brushed us. We were expecting more but likely got less than eight inches of snow total. It would be hard to tell because we did get the wind and drifting. Fortunately it was also really cold here, […]

Mark and Wink went to Bedrock Gardens and were introduced to some exceptional characters. We needed a greeter/guardian for our home in NewMahket. We were inspired to ask if such a being existed that would like to move to our house. About two months later Cybil was born. Initially they had a hankering for foo-foo

This could just as easily be titled: “How to Lose Money on a House.” I am not sure what motivated me do to this blog but I have a lot more free time while we isolate in place and this will keep me from getting bored. So here goes, this is just for fun. We

I am at a crossroads, I can either blog or do Christmas cards. I suppose it is not hard to guess what I chose to work on this morning. It is hard to generate much enthusiasm for doing cards in this very challenging year. It has been a year of uncertainty, fear and loss. It

There hasn’t been any movement on the camera front. The black Friday and cyber Monday sales were not inspiring enough to separate Mark from his money. For a pittance more, there is a sixty megapixel camera available. I am pretty sure that whatevah I bought would be superseded in a month or two. I hate

It is the middle of November and the dock at Moody Point has been pulled for the winter. So that is the end of Kayaking from here because the shoreline has environmentally sensitive plants and we are not allowed to launch from shore. I documented the ten fall Kayaking trips to Shackford Point. It was

We have gotten a start on the fall yard work. I thought we finally dealt with the leaves that were down. I was wrong as the oak tree took another dump on me. I think a strong North wind would move the leaves for me but we will get around to it later today and

Still lagging behind on yard work. The dock is still in the water and it is theoretically possible to continue kayaking. I keep thinking there isn’t much of interest to blog about but keep accumulating more and more pictures. So here goes: Boids The bird populations are shifting into the birds that over winter here.

Kayak Adventure VIII This is likely our last kayak adventure of the year. It was a calm morning just after high tide. It was remarkable how much things had changed since our last trip. The berries were stripped from the bushes and acorns were the food source of choice. We did not see a lot
