Saturday night we ferried across to the Edgartown Wharf to dance to Johnny Hoy & The Bluefish. It’s too bad that we all liked them so much because from their website and Johnny’s introductory remarks, they seem to play almost exclusively on the Vineyard. Here are a few photos taken from inside the building and […]

Two tall guys, one of whom looks like a young Max Von Sydow, are playing ping pong on the porch of the Chappaquiddick Community Center while Diane reads and I upload this and check my email. It’s the nearest WiFi hotspot to Richard and Jacquie’s house. We’re all here for the weekend, with Steven and […]

Robby and Goose painted our barn (all that remains is some white trim) and they’re painting Robby’s barn too. The color? Tomato Red. Got a house that needs painting? They (including Matt)  are  all home Columbus Day weekend. In between brush strokes they stacked our two cords of firewood.

Diane’s labored for three years to entice humming birds to her feeders, and this summer she’s finally been rewarded. The photos are grainy at an iso of 1600.  If I don’t shoot fast the feeder looks good, but the bird is a blur.  And, like Adam and Tricia’s, the damn thing flits away when they […]
