The Last Days of Summer
Yes, this is the unofficial end of summer. Kids back in school. Summer-only activities rolled up like so many yoga mats. But as a woman who puts her faith in science, I’m sticking to September 22 as the last day of summer. That’s still several days from now. (I’m not a woman of math!)

Love Story in the Village – ImPort Stanley
This is the story of two of Port Stanley’s most visible residents. They stand across Bridge Street from each other. Although they never speak, the language of love needs no words. But both know deep within their wooden souls that their two hard hearts will never become one.
