block island rental




Excursions and Alarums.
Twas the hour before the guests were to arrive. The new couch had its label removed (yes, WD-40 works to destick), the lawn was newly mown (thanks, Dada), and the canvas once again stapled around the outdoor shower (time no. 3). All was quiet around the house. No mice this year.
Here the people are.
Oops. Forgot to fill the ice trays. Sorry. Sure you can have some ice.
Oops. The smoke alarm is going off in the bedroom? Sorry about that. John, do you have my eight-foot ladder? Thanks, Noah. Quick, let's head to the store for another $7 battery to install. Thanks, Kathleen.
Seems to be quiet again on my watch as seventeen sloops, spinnakers billowing, slip past the shore at six of the morning.
Block Island is now open for business.
