Don’t Stir Up the Hornets’ Nest
This huge nest is over our driveway. Hornets can be real nasty. They can attack in droves and unlike other wasps and bees, live to sting again.
We are going to leave this one alone. They are far enough away from our house not to threaten us. The nest will die out over the winter and the surviving fertile females will not repopulate the nest.

Steve Almond and Duckworth’s Fabulous Writer’s Book Club Event
Ken Duckworth
Last night guests enjoyed a beautiful dinner prepared by Ken Duckworth, followed by a lively book discussion led by Steve Almond.
Author Steve Almond, left, and Eastern Point Lit House Co-founder Chris Anderson
The The Writer’s Book Club event was hosted by Duckworth’s and Eastern Point Lit House. The book of the evening was Stoner, written by John Williams, and it is Steve’s all time favorite. He had with him his own worn copy, from which he read several passages and quoted often. For the most part, the group adored the book and, after listening to the discussion while photographing, I am putting it at the top of my list of books to read this winter when design work and filming slows down.

This year there are two more upcoming Writer’s Book Club book discussions hosted by Duckworth’s and Eastern Point Lit House. Last night the house was packed and I suggest you purchase your tickets now. I simply can’t imagine a more enjoyable dinner/literary event, with Duckworth’s warm and welcoming ambiance, Ken’s beautiful and divinely delicious dinners, along with discussing great books. And here’s a scoop for GMG readers: Ken Duckworth himself is going to be cooking and leading the November 17th discussion!!! As I said–better order your tickets now!
