Nothing good can come
From wearing the same makeup
Since dawn yesterday

April 27 - Taking Advantage Of A Lovely Day Up-Island


A late start but a
sunny walk through Ripple Rock
Whirlpools swirl below

April 26 - The Up-Island Leg


Ocean winds are cold
But Cumberland is sunny
As we look for gnomes

April 22 - A Right Full Family Day


A nostalgic time
Playing music for old folks
Raccoon at the beach

April 21 - Raising Money, Drinking Wine, Eating Way Too Much


Brunch macaroni
Launches a long day of food
Family night at Chelle's

April 20 - Kassie Says All The Chickens Are This Big


Koen's cowboy boots
Look snazzy as he passes
While we eat huge legs

April 19 - Day 2: Go Go Go


Chantal is happy
Gayle's goldfish are gigantic
Me? My eyebrows hurt

April 18 - Back In The Hectic Life


We're off and running
To shop, visit, buy laptops
With time to soothe Daq

April 17 - Slowly Making Our Way North


It's not the plane rides
That wear you down; it's the waits
in the damn airports

April 16 - Heading Home For A Visit


A half-day of work
Then to San Pedro to wait
For our morning flight

April 15 - It's Just What Happens On Days This Hot


Old men with their shirts
rolled up over their bellies
Not pretty, but hey

April 14 - Man, These Guys Love Our Sunday Trips


Give a kid a pool
And she'll swim in no time flat
Floating is freedom

April 13 - Ah, Yes, I Remember This Month Now


The thing with Aprils
Is that they sneak up on you
Night and day, so hot

April 6 - I'm Just Grateful I Went For The "Plus" Seat


There's a big car crash
And then the bus blows a hose
Just another day

April 4 - We're Going Home On Saturday


Poor Ceci looks stressed
But Paul is cheered when we learn
The visas are done

April 3 - Our Buddy In The Garden


The clay-coloured thrush
Could charm with his song but for
The 4 a.m. start

April 2 - A Peaceful Day At The Hotel


I pull up a chair
Outside at the Alsacia
The doves are bathing
