Work moves at Lightning Speed... Somedays

Roads are terrible here. More potholes than you can imagine. But when they decide to fix something, the jobs get done fast. They are building a much needed sidewalk through our little town of red Hook. In only a couple weeks, they have added several hundred yards of sidewalk, and more added every day. Hard working crew.

But when they do not decide to work, it moves slowly... in fact, I saw this much needed piece of machinery first day I moved to my new condo a few weeks ago... has not moved since, and appears to have not moved for months.

Plenty of work for ya, Harley!

Outdoor Craft Fair

Last Saturday, we stumbled on an outdoor craft fair... Jackie loved the hand finished wood flower vases...

I especially enjoyed this guy selling wooden serving dishes, he had beautiful cutting boards as well.

But the real star of the show was this display of orchids.

Dinner and a sporting event

We are starting to schedule our dinners around...

The VERY COMPETITIVE doubles play of these 4 seniors. they play every other night, and we have a great view of 3/4ers of the court.

They take several breaks to replenish fluids...

My theory, there's Mai Tai's in the water bottles.

Life is very competitive here on the point

Our deck looks out over the tennis courts...

It's doubles tournament every other night... Must be 65 to enter

On our Deck Last night

Burgers, Plantain Fries, wine...

Look close... Rainbow

It was a good night on our deck

High School

Big Complex...

Seems quiet from back here...

Look close at the uniforms...

Girls... and yes, even the boys, all dressed in pink.

There are two high schools on the island. The other school dresses in blue uniforms.

Into everyone's life, Some Rain must fall

It's comin...

I could sit and watch the clouds and the weather front rolling in from the west.

I have big plans for the day, but look what's rolling towards me...

But wait... Is That blue skies trying to fight off the rain clouds???

They were fighting...

But they lost.

No way to go for my morning walk...

So I made a loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Walnut bread

But in the afternoon, I went on a sun shiney walk!

I guess you do see this more often than you would think

We found out what they are doing... Besides looking like they were having fun...

It's race season. So the horses are exercised in the mornings, and then brought to the bay to be cooled down.

So, about every other day, depending on what time of day, the horse trailer is there...

And the horses are there...



My money is on the one on the left.
