From Zita Cobb at Shorefast, I received an email describing ten years of the Fogo Island Inn. It included a link to Fogo Island’s Community Economy.
” At Shorefast, we are passionate about answering the question ‘How can we create an economy in service of nature and culture – in service of place? “
For me, this raises the question, “What is the equivalent to Shorefast in the Annapolis Valley?”. Is it an apple ladder”? (see previous posts “Connecting Communities“, “World GIS Day“, and “Jane Jacobs Biography“)
In Kentville again this week, I picked up Edible Maritimes: The Land – the Sea – the People – the Food. No. 6 Spring 2023. As well as the Grapevine. Arts, Culture, Community, March 2023, Best of the Bunch.
On Wednesday evening, we went to Dawn Oman Art Gallery in Bridgetown.
Musique Royale presented the “Three For All” guitar trio featuring Daniel MacNeil, Scott Mac Milan, and Emma Rush. The March 3 Bridgetown Reader provides more details on the accomplishments of all three guitarists.
Edward Wedler volunteered to take over the Ernest Buckler Experiment (EBE) blog with his contribution Plein Air Paint-Out Map for 2023. Artists are far away as New Zealand and Australia have shared this map with their Facebook groups.
At the end of this week, I look forward to the Authors Among Us at the Annapolis Royal Library. Peter Wyman Will be introducing “Crossing Thames” and David Wiseman will launch “Old Wrongs” (see upcoming blog post).
Friday, I stopped at the Middleton Library. Heather had a medical appointment. I discovered Guy Joseph Ale “Buddha and Einstein Walk into a Bar: How new discoveries about mind, body, and energy can help increase your longevity“.
‘We will now transition to exploring the scientific and spiritual foundation of our ability to sense how long we can live, and later the practical daily application of this awareness that can help us to live our longest and healthiest lives ‘. P.39.
Postscript
Bees Knees in Lawrencetown is now selling baked goods: sourdough bread, muffins and cookies. Excellent fare.

Reference to Edward and Zita Cobb reminded me of The Road to Georgetown, PEI in 2014. We attended a conference on Economic Development. Heather and Bodhi, our dog, were there too.
