Look again at what’s close at hand

Spending time admiring the wonders of far away sharpens our appreciation of what’s familiar. Or, we hope it does. New Jersey is lush and abundant with rabbits everywhere. No sage brush. With no time to admire all that, we have resumed packing, opened the pool for inspection and moved forward with the buyer of our New Jersey home. Jim and Emma have made the trek to Cape Cod to take care of some business before driving Emma to Maine for her summer job. The Cape is easy to like. There’s a fisherman’s lean-to on First Encounter beach with due celebration of a striped bass. Final shot from our deck this evening. Home Sweet Home.
