block island winter

Simon et al play hockey on our pond (Dada)

Here are some pix of a Block Island that most visitors seldom see. Actually, thanks to the Gulf Stream,  islanders themselves don't always see that much snow. And it was a good year for ice, as well. "Today will be the third day in a row that good skating for the whole day will be had by increasing numbers of passersby who can not resist clear ice and a wood fire with roasting hot dogs, burgers and marshmallows," reports Dada. Sounds good to me!
