We've been travelling too much this summer. Got back late yesterday and our one good cuke looks more like a squash :-(

Foggy one in da Kenosh
Foggy winter scene at a boat ramp. There are large chunks of ice in the foreground. Docks and houses line the water's edge in the hazy distance Lake Michigan beach scene on a foggy day. Driftwood and chunks of ice lay on the sand. Waves hit the beach from the right Hound dog on the boardwalk on a foggy winter day. Grassy dunes line the left Canada Goose stands on an ice chunk in the water. Its flock is swimming in the background

I actually haven't read this yet. Mainly kept as a touch point to my long gone dad. I love reading his notes from college in it

Yes... Ha ha ha... YES!
1965 cover of The Burned-Over District by Whitney R. Cross. It's tan with black and pink illustration that's similar in style to woodcut printing. There's a person with long wavy hair holding a sword soaring over the hills with a sun and crescent moon.
