Nelson Congregational Church Food Pantry
For those among us who find these rising costs becoming prohibitively high – making the purchase of extra groceries or gifts particularly challenging, I would like to encourage you to take advantage in the coming weeks of the Nelson Food Shelf located at Nelson Congregational Church. In addition to providing basic staple items, the Food Shelf is also able to provide gifts cards to nearby grocery stores that can be used for any food items you would like or need.
Eagles on Granite Lake
In the early morning, when the lake still looks like glass, I grab my camera, my dog and we jump into the canoe. We head toward the island. The hope is to capture the early morning activity of the eagles at Granite lake. In the early spring, only dark fuzz can be seen peeking out from under an adult's wing.

Loon Affairs
