Provencher: A Bridge Between Memory and Sky $Provencher Bridge floats between breath and concrete, a tethered gesture over water’s slow murmur. Light fractures across its spine like memory refracted—half civic promise, half spectral hush.

Split, Stack, and Settle In Getting a head start on winter—cutting and stacking wood before the mosquitoes and ticks take over.
