Heron








This heron lives








and wades 










and fishes 









on Callis Creek in Redart.  






I caught him recently searching for supper amid the local oyster operation.


All is as busy as--if not busier than--ever in my world.

I hope all is well in yours.

Main Street Makeover








Lots of exciting things are happening in our little downtown area. 









After more than two decades of work, the Mathews Main Street Committee's 
efforts are finally paying off, and we're getting a major makeover face lift.








Work started on the block near my favorite Mexican restaurant, Mi Casa Azteca. 
(I love Mi Casa and try to go there at least once every two weeks.)








There was some impact to traffic--to the extent Mathews has traffic--and some roads have been blocked off and closed, but all businesses have remained open throughout the reconstructive surgery work.







New sidewalks, curbs, gutters and landscaping enhancements are among the improvements being made to our quaint Court House area.

Although there may be some minor inconveniences along the way, I personally can't wait to see the end result.
