What to do on a Rainy Sunday Afternoon

If I am looking for a quiet activity on a rainy Sunday afternoon, I spend some time at Mitchell's, Bookworks or one of the island libraries. Do you have a desire to travel? Spend some time researching and reading about the culture, geology or history and art of the location where you wish to travel.

Installing and Checking The Bees

The photos below were taken a few years ago, while installing packages of bees. Notice the queen cage in the second photo placed at the top between two frames. 

The queen cage is plugged with a piece of candy, which her attendants eat away, allowing her to leave the cage. It takes up to three days and allows the bees to get use to the scent of the queen. It is likely the queen would be killed, if the bees are not allowed to acclimate to the queen.

World Wide Oyster Symposium 2015

The World Wide Oyster Symposium is to be held on Cape Cod in 2015. Will post details as soon as available.

I enjoy the colors and patterns on sea shells and onshore. This walk took place along Pocomo Beach, across from Coatue.

It has become difficult for people to cope with the cold. From my perspective, it only gets difficult if I don't have time to get out of doors for a walk or bike. The birds are always interesting and the shore changes with each wave.

What We See Onshore, Even During Cold Temps

While hiking in the forest yesterday we saw small plants, fungus, likens and moss, which have various shades of green, grey, cream and brown. Nantucket hosts a wild pallet of colors out of doors, year-round.
