Vol XVI # 071 – A Lot Better Than Yesterday

What difference a day makes!  Spring returned this morning with temps on the cool side.  All in all the day was mighty fine with Mr Sunshine. Biscuit and I delivered 27 signed “Leland Report” books to the book store this morning.      

Vol XVI # 070 – A Cold and Windy Day

Brrrrr  best describes this mornings weather, cold and windy.  I wore my winter coat with a hood and was glad I did when I ventured out to the shore.  I’m having a difficult time walking, especially uphill and in the sand, so I’m not sure how long I can continue to visit my favorite morning destinations.  I’ll do it until… Read more »
