Only choice, plus binnacle
Thursday, 19 June 2025
We found the darkest purple lilacs I remember ever seeing, which we found on the Seul Choix lighthouse grounds.
There’s the light, with the keeper’s home to the left. [Apologies for the exaggerated keystoning.]
It’s on a point that projects out in the M of HOMES.
Contrast that with “our” lake. That’s a round rock (perhaps/probably rounded by humans, and thus an artifact) atop a binnacle. Because of this weighty binnacle that was on/near our beach, that word was part of the vocabulary of the kids who grew up in my generation on this property, and probably would not otherwise have been familiar with the term. Now, why there was a binnacle of this scale here, I do not know, because it’s way too large for a ship/boat on this lake, but not for one a HOMES lake.
