June 22, 2022 – Volunteer Day  

We wrapped up an incredibly busy but productive volunteer day, it almost felt like a 3-ring circus, and I was the part time ring master!  Once again, the plans we put into place on Tuesday were thrown for a curve when the news crew from Channel 5 cancelled their visit at the last minute this …

June 17-19, 2022 – Help Wanted, Windy, Family, Food & Games

Another Father’s Day weekend came to an end but what a weekend it was!  Last year, my nephew and his wife and their best friends planned 2 different trips out to visit us on the island, and both weekends were cancelled because of the many summer nor’easters we had.  My nephew picked this weekend to …

June 13th – 15th – Salem Sound Coastwatch & Mini-Volunteer Group

Monday was a full out foggy day.  The plan was to go to the mainland for shopping and a trip to the dog park with Fiona.  Our hope was to head in around 8am because we had a youth group visit for later in the day.  After our second cup of coffee, the fog was …

June 13, 2022 – Lot’s of Progress in the Past Month

It has been just about a month since the reopening of Bakers Island Light Station for the summer of 2022, and the volunteers have been chipping away at the summer project list we started out with.  An as Brian and I promised ourselves, this summer we are going to make sure we do something fun …

June 8, 2022 – Something is not right with this picture

I have been sorting out the documents and user’s manuals stored in a file box on island, trying to create some order to this pile of papers.  We are getting all fancy with a file cabinet and labeled folders, but I can easily get distracted when I am sorting by reading some of the past …

May 26th – 31st – Memorial Weekend

It was a perfect weather weekend for the holiday, so much better than last year when we went through 3 days of high winds, cold temperatures, and rain!  It is possible that Sunday & Monday of this past weekend were ranked as some of the top days we have experienced on the island. Brian and …

May 25 – First Volunteer Wednesday of the 2022 Season

Our volunteer schedule started early this year, and the first trip to the island was yesterday!  There was much discussion about what was going to get worked on, supplies needed, and which volunteer would be best for each job.  There was a game plan in place, but who knows if anything was going to turn …

May 22 – A trip to Misery and saving mice!

The forecasters got it right today, it was a picture-perfect pre-summer day on the island.  We took it slow to get started today, a full breakfast was prepared by Brian as I read for a while. This is our last summer on the island, and we have promised ourselves to take it down a notch …

May 21 – A foggy day

We watched the weather forecast last night during the news, and the meteorologist kept saying how hot it was going to be today and make sure everyone stays hydrated.  I guess the island didn’t get the message, it was foggy all day long, and just when you thought it could not get any foggier, it …

May 20, 2022 – Still trying to get everything set up

While Ryan and Joe were working another day on the AKH ceiling, Brian and I had two labor intensive projects on our plate, Brian needed to finish the beach boardwalk and I wanted to sift the dirt in the vegetable garden to get most of the rocks out of the soil. Ryan and Joe had …
