Bobby Saul and Charles Brown enjoy the gorgeous Whidbey weather by riding their longboards down Useless Bay Avenue on Monday afternoon.

A dedicated group of Scatchet Head volunteers helped pull apart the picnic shelter at Totem Park, board by board and cedar shake by shake, so the wood could be recycled for a future project.

The Goose Grocery has a sidewalk produce sale today, and there were plenty of peppers to pick.
