I have returned to the Chappy column roost from a long hiatus, or whatever it is called when a chicken steps out for a while, to alternate weeks with Peter.

The shadbush are in bloom again.

Congratulations to Lucy Leopold and Collins Heavener who welcomed a baby boy, Remy Leopold Heavener, on April 20.

The installation of the new ramp lifting frame on the Chappy side is coming along rapidly.

We have been experiencing an unusually dry spring.

Back when I was in sixth grade, the ferry ramp was a bunch of wooden planks bolted together.

We spotted the first osprey this weekend, soaring high above our home and calling out in its distinctive cry.
