Idle-ing
Another week almost over on that idyllic little island out in the Pacific Ocean somewhere between Canada and the Gulf Islands. Shopkeepers everywhere are dusting off and sprucing up, new ones arriving and old hands with sage advice.
The locals and visitors alike are dressed in appropriate shorts and sandals for the mid 20’s temps, welcoming early sunny weather and, (thanks to global warming or some other cycle), summer is here in April. We’ve been fooled before tho’ when it snowed a few years ago on Cinco de Mayo.
Amazing how fast you can go from looking at the crows hanging on to the telephone lines to semi-retirement before 50, utilities and the home business taxes to pay and deciding on whether to stroll past the fish ladders, pick up a kayak paddle, or simply hang out.
