Dam fine

We live near the Ben Smith Dam, built in 1840 to create the sluice that powered the mill. Ever try to sing the word sluice? I had to eschew a setting of a Louise Bogan poem that used the word because the singer didn't want to sing that word. Ever try to sing the word eschew? Ever try to say it?




That's the Great Blue Heron just about to fly out of sight. Yes, there is a Great Blue Heron. Who, when he sees you, flies out of sight.
