Bim, that was a rather low tide, but the oyster bags are exposed daily. The tides here are usually about nine feet, and as much as thirteen feet.

The second picture was a "medium" size image, but it's tiny!

Cool. I love the super low tides that happen this time of year - I'm not far from you.

In.
Thanks Mags!
Congratulations on shotgun Reid.
Welcome Ekohe.
Congratulations on 500 days Forwards
We have had upgrades in the past and I have always appreciated them. Not sure what is going on right now but it is getting annoying.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIDNIGHTBLUE! I hope you have a great day.

ps. I make plenty of spelling mistakes but the spelling "midnigth" is not my own

Happy birthday MB. Yes, I can’t believe it’s been a year already.

Congrats on 500 days Forwards, I remember your early days well. This is an accomplishment to be proud of.

Welcome to the Weekender, Ekohe, glad you joined us.

Happy Birthday, MB!!
Congratulations, Forwards!!


I am not getting into the Wisconsin Supreme Court decision here. I can't do it without ranting about politics. I live here and follow politics and the news closely. I have mixed feelings about the decision. There's a lot going on here in this state that people who don't live here don't know about. It's ugly. My life is not going to change for a while anyway. I will be able to continue my level of caution while I wait to see what happens. I'm lucky that way. I am still expected to work from home. I'll be praying for the people who have no choice but to return to jobs that might not be safe right now. That's all I will say.

I'm very aware of conflict between opening and staying closed. The owner of the shellfish farm and his partner want to stay closed, but the chef they hired for summer wants to open ASAP. And now there are two "refugees" who are living there and are in front of me in line for jobs.

It's perfect, but WOL seems to be only working for you.

I was almost jealous yesterday

Unfortunately it is impossible to talk about this because of the politics.
But we kind of need to be able to talk about it.

I don't do Social Media other than Instagram really, and I would not talk about it on there anyway.
So I am left with a lot of fears and feelings that have nowhere to land.

So

PMs I guess. s

I am going to cry again......yep......a cat killed my baby bunny.
And I could have stopped it....I thought it was looking for a rat.
And then I couldn't catch it.....

Huge sobs

OK, I guess I couldn't have stopped it, but holy crap.

Oh, how awful Venus!! I'm so sorry. Rabbits are my spirit animal. I hate seeing them hurt or killed.
