Labor Day 2018

Last night's fun. We were small but mighty; a day enhanced by visitors and mystery guests galore - folks from Cape Breton, India, England, Ireland, Belgium, and who knows where else. And honestly, I can't remember when I've seen more people passing by the porch. That's what it's all about here on my piazza - a potpourri of friends, strangers, family, and neighbors. All are welcome here. #piazzaspiazza #belikeapiazza #ilovemylife #mvirishtrad #vineyardtrad



Mike stopped by a couple of years ago, was back on the Island and remembered our session, showed up this year armed with a couple of songs and a couple of salads, plus friends and family. Brilliant! Thanks for coming!


Warming up.

Francesca, whom I know as the lady from Chappy who raises fancy Indian horses, randomly stepped up to the porch and gave us a lovely rendition of  Pleasant and Delightful (or The Larks they Sang Melodious)

Testing the Go Pro's low-light capabilities. Not impressed, but a lovely tune.
