Must Felt
My Morning Walk
Lego pulls me around Block House hill and while he looks for deer poop, I look out at the town towards the front harbour. We turn left down to Montague st. and come to Foodland, one of our two local grocery stores. While I am grateful to have a place to pick up milk, mostly…
