Letter-Writing Club: August 9th, 2012 edition.
Sorry, I’m in a rush. The A/V’s a bit off. And my hair looks weird. It was a long, hot summer’s day, all-told. But still: nice.
Today Martha is harvesting the artichokes…

This morning, Miss Williams, Caroline (& Gigi & Evan), Effie & I went foraging for fresh produce/sundry-goodies (cheese, honey, pickles for Miss Williams) at the Ocean City Farmer’s Market. I picked up Miss Williams at quarter-to-nine; took refuge on her … Continue reading
