  3. I love it! Especially the bit about the calves. They always look so wonderfully truant when on the wrong side of the fence.

  5. I hope the Sheriff found time for a slice of apple pie among that lot. What a fine glimpse of reality.

  9. I love reading the sheriff's calls ... so random, so often ridiculous. I also have some 'girls' I visit about an hour north of here ... :)

    ps, just finished reading Wallace Stegner's 'Crossing to Safety.' So good.

  12. melissa (counting dandelions), No...

    nicole, I've added Crossing to Safety to my to-read list. It looks good. I recently began listening to a different Wallace Stegner novel and wasn't enjoying it. I so often have difficulty with listening to books. The reader can make or break the book. Perhaps I should stick to reading all by myself. That being said, I adore Donald Sutherland's reading of The Old Man and the Sea.

    alison, I just might have to go and check out Bar Harbor in person.

    Katrina, San Francisco might be a bit different as well...
