one of my favorite articles yet.... I worked on an oyster farm on Cape Cod in 1998 and 1999...On our way back in from working the "breakfast tide" we would shuck a dozen oysters right there on the boat and have them for "breakfast".... I was not familiar with this poem, but have already begun to commit it to heart. Thank you!

I was so happy to read about your oyster adventures! I’m gifting my boyfriend a trip to an oyster farm later this year for his 30th birthday but I’m starting to think I might be even more excited than him😅❤️
