Today we are going to a friend’s cabin here. They have a mooring ball that will hold a 75’ boat! Perfect. The short trip to Okeover Inlet was pleasant. Find the tree house and you are there – the directions said.

Look at that tree house!
The neighbors (David and Sari, also their caretakers) came out to greet us as the dinghy got to the Devoe’s dock.
David took was through his gardens that he has planted. There are about 3+ acres that he has planted with rhododendrons. He orders them from a special nursery – alas they were not blooming. I invited myself back, not being shy. A week either side of May 20th next year! I would love to see this garden in bloom.

Karlyn and Chuck went by dinghy to the Laughing Oyster for lunch and Kathleen, Richard, Kelley and myself walked. We sat outside at the restaurant. Very enjoyable!
The four of them took the dinghy back to the boat and Kelley and I walked back. When we got to the Devoe’s Karlyn and Chuck were picking blackberries (as they had before lunch). We joined them and added to the large container already in progress.
There were sacrifices made! Thorns and stains….

Karlyn made a blackberry pie! Delicious!
