Loved this, dear Meredith! You have always beautifully captured the essence of our life on the Eastern Shore. Thank you!
I’d love to see a river otter.
Got them in Canada, lake otters…we hear them periodically under our boat house. The dogs go nuts and we all eagerly hope to see them;
gosh they sound scary! So adorable looking, though, right?!
Keep on writing!!
