Quite a few boats in the trees around the island. I think Log Dog may be retired for good but one never knows for sure.

Shapes and Patterns

I went for a walk yesterday afternoon at Drumbeg Provincial Park. In the span of twenty minutes or so, I saw an eagle, an otter, a great blue heron, some buffleheads and other waterfowl and of course, seagulls. And these shapes and patterns in the rocks below the trail. Love that place.

Skunk Cabbage

A sure sign that spring is on the way.

Electricity and natural gas will heat a home to a comfortable temperature but nothing has the same quality of warmth as a wood stove.
