Hello, My daughter Hannah is back from her week with the American Legion, Girl’s Nation on Capital Hill. This link has their schedule with photos from every event. (She was in the Federalist Party.) This link to Time Magazine’s picture of the girls meeting the President Bush. Hannah is in the 3rd row, 3rd from […]
The view from out motel balcony in Plymouth. That’s Diane in blue wading out into the sea.
Adam alerted me to this short piece in this morning’s NY Times. It’s a gem. SMALL FARM REPORT By Verlyn Klinkenborg Here is how things stand at midsummer. One of the Tamworth pigs is tame enough to be scratched behind the ears. The other isn’t. Two of the white geese have clubbed together and banished […]
My annual goldfinch photo.
The guys have been launching rockets ever since they were, well, boys. I’ve watched Daryl and Matthew’s rockets take off vertically, then as if controlled by some unseen force, change directions and crash into the tree they were hiding behind.

Kinda forlorn actually, and after a nice […]
Matt claims he didn’t ask for an iPhone for his birthday and given that he has the youthful Velcro-like mind, I won’t argue. I thought he had, or maybe I translated his enthusiasm into a a birthday wish. His phone, ordered online, came the morning of his birthday, but we lied, and said it had […]
