Desperate Times

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

(Pictures look cloudy because they were taken though a window with a screen.)

In the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch country, quietly secured on 22 acres of natural woodland, you will find the home of the Speedwell Wolves. For over 20 years the Darlington Family has offered refuge to Wolves who have found themselves without a place in the natural world. It has been over a hundred years since the last wild Wolf was known to exist in Pennsylvania.

A fun weekend in upstate NY. A foggy morning at the B&B

Can you see the cat?

Full Moon

One of the nice things about being at Solomons Island when there is a full moon is you can catch the sunset on one side of the island.............and go to the east side and get the moon rise.

The next evening the almost full moon was over the Smithsonian Castle on the Mall.....

The Capitol building is beautiful anytime with or without the moon.

This past weekend was the Long Island NY Lighthouse Challenge. Ten lighthouses not as many steps as NJ challenge. Three of the lighthouse you can only see from the shore. We drove 890 miles rode 2 ferry's and one 30ft cabin cruiser. We went with people we have been friends with for 24 years and laughed the whole time. These lighthouse challenges are not just about lighthouse.

The world laughs in flowers

Mississippi

I spent a week in Mississipi with my son Joe working with a organization called PDA. We were in a small town called Pearlington. The town is along the Pearl river, 45 min north of New Orleans. The town was flatten by Katrina. They still have no Post Office or schools. To learn more about Pearlington than I can put here read this site http://operationeden.blogspot.com. Most of my week was mudding ,sanding and painting drywall.
This is MS Suzie with her lump of sugar (Joe). She survived Katrina by holding on to a post on her front porch. She is 75 years young.
These are MEMA trailers not FEMA. The M is for Mississippi
This is what most of Pearlington MS looks like.
My home for the week. They are corrugated plastic. We had a severe storm and they never moved.
