Dear Aggie - in memoriam

Our dear friend and neighborhood favorite, Aggie the fish crow, passed away sometime Sunday night/ Monday morning. She was a lively bright creature who lived at the Long Branch Nature Center, beloved by many.

Fly free dear Aggie, you will be remembered always with affection. 

I will greatly miss our conversations and fun.

Blueberries and games of keep away.

Rhododendron /Zig Zag, Oregon

Ruth and I spent a week in a cabin near Mount Hood, Orgeon with lifelong friends (Geeks Anonymous).  The nearest towns were Rhododendron and Zig Zag. The huge trees and the dense flora are a miracle to behold.

Old friends. The camaraderie of time, lives shared.  A blessing.
