Snyder's Shipyard: Cody & Kathryn

A recent arrival in the 'slip' at Snyder's Shipyard in Dayspring. A lovely vessel...for some reason, makes me think of The Beachcombers.

More Xmas trees in power poles in Riverport

A slightly blurry shot of the delightful Christmas trees on (in?) the power poles in Riverport. They were a welcome sight every time I returned home.

According to an anonymous commenter, "The trees were placed by the Riverport and District Community Development Committee, with funds donated by local organisations."

What is on the shelf in mom's porch?

A better question might be, "what isn't on the shelf?"

Mom has a nice collection of vintage coffee cans full of....stuff.

Reasons why I love where I live: Xmas trees on power poles

I'm assuming the Xmas trees (festooned with lights, no less!) on the power poles in Rose Bay and Riverport are courtesy of our local electric commission. Whoever is responsible, I love 'em. Especially at night. I love driving home and seeing Xmas trees and lights ~20 ft. above the ground.
