In which we play thread the crab pot ...
It was a gorgeous day, so that meant I got to complain about getting too much sun. Poor Rick - having to listen to me. As many of you have pointed out, Rick is a saint. St Rick was busy today, getting the WADS of spring sea grass out of the cooling water intake for the generator. He was super happy to have a challenging project and I got a long peaceful time to listen to my audio book while driving.
We haven't been on the Chesapeake in any season but fall, and it's fun to see all the Osprey nests full of fledglings, all the trees leafed out and so much in bloom.
The route today took us across the Bay to the little town of Oxford, on the Eastern Shore. We had driven through it on our Delmarva Adventure, and seen it all in about 10 minutes. So I was surprised to see it, AGAIN, on the itinerary, but we do need to be on the Eastern Shore to get to St Michaels. And we expected there might be more to it than what we had already seen from the road.
Nope.
To be fair, it's lovely and quiet and had some of the most well-tended gardens I have ever seen. There was no 'other side of the track' to the town, and much of it had spectacular sea views. There is clearly summer-home money from the big cities close by - Richmond, Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. We were also, as environmentalists, happily struck by the fact that no driveways were paved but rather all finished in a grey gravel.

We like quiet and peaceful - it lets us focus on the important things:
It was also a quiet and peaceful night - thank you, baby Jesus.
What are the air temperatures?
