Spring Impressions
Early Morning Avian Symphony
Little fluttering sounds
Beckoning the Day
Later, a Road Trip thru
Brilliant colored countryside
citron Forsythia in full glory —
Pale pink Dogwood in stark
contrast — milk white cherry
Blossoms — beautiful and
refreshing
One loses concentration
1/14/2024
Flower stalls dot the side
roads — impatience, coral and white geraniums,
gerber daises —
Hard to believe that Trump
still causes anguish to so many —
Shaky economy,
Tornadoes, global warming,
Toxic fumes from derailed
train cars —
Returning home —
Six mallards resting on
freshly mown lawn,
circling each other, as if in a
Ritual Mating Dance
All is well.

The Right ChoiceHow lucky are the residents of Southampton Township that John Leonard has thrown his hat in the ring to run for Town Board. I met John when he came before the Southampton Town Democratic Committee’s screening committee, of which I...
A WorkaroundFor months, local papers have been peppered with the reversal in fortunes of the highly regarded shellfish hatchery at Conscience Point, with the organization’s eviction being prompted by a formality that the hatchery has received a minor sum of money...
Too Many QuestionsPlease realize that the winner of the March election for a vacant Town Council position has an excellent chance of being in office for about a decade. The focus on John Leonard’s qualifications for this election highlights a much bigger...
