What a great idea - thanks for that! I'll have to tell my berry patch friends about it!

I see a pretty little trailerable boat in your yard - are you subscribing to the Small Craft substack run by my friend, Josh Colvin? I think you might enjoy their publication - smallcraftadvisor.substack.com/

Angela thank you! I subscribed immediately. Every summer for 7 years I have put my sailboat in the water and paid for a berth at a marina, but this year I knew I would be too busy.

Oh good - you're welcome! Josh puts out wonderful posts - I know you'll enjoy them. Recently he's been doing a series of posts where he shows photos by sailors who submit pix of their wee boats - wonderful!

Too bad you can't sail this year!

I can - I just sail with friends! My friend Joanne has a 26-foot long Tanzer. A great sailboat! I sailed it last week on Long Island Sound.

Funny - I grew up on LI Sound - sailed out of Cold Spring Harbor!

Paper Eagle Kite is a great metaphor for much of what passes for politics these days. Fear can be a very effective tool. Farmers are so smart.
