The fall colors are starting to show on Eastsound’s planted trees. When we first bought our home here, I was ambling around “downtown” and ran into Robin Kublick with an entourage of no-longer-young but determined citizens armed with pails and shovels. I asked what he was doing and he promptly put me to work planting with them.

Looking at these trees today, and thinking what they will be like 20 to 40 years from now, I thank Robin, who is one of those “only on Orcas” good guys!
