Banana Bread

In the foreground it’s winter in our kitchen — coffee’s in the offing and fresh banana bread, made using the dog-eared recipe, is cooling. But in my line of sight the photos are of another time. A dog named Willy who after his hunting days was given to a man in the Northeast Kingdom who was so taken with the dog he slept on the man’s bed and rode shotgun in his pickup. There’s Kathy in Tuscany, a scene in Florence, and our friend Kim diving off Dahlia in Cuttyhunk Harbor.
