Welcome to Amherst Island
Amherst Island is located in Lake Ontario west of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. The island is part of Loyalist Township in Lennox and Addington County. Amherst Island is located about 3 kilometres (2 mi) offshore from the rest of Loyalist Township and access to the island is by way of the Frontenac II ferry from Millhaven.
The main population centre on the island is the village of Stella, which is the where the ferry lands on the island side. Harrowsmith Country Life declared the island’s local hamlet, Stella, as one of the “prettiest towns in Canada”.

Thank you Sally for sharing your seedlings with me this morning. #amherstisland #topsyfarms
A friend has some seedlings for me so I’m popping over to Amherst Island to pick them up! I think this is the first time I’ve ever been on the boat and not allowed out to walk around, visit or hang out in the wheelhouse with the Captain #covit19 #amherstisland

#Repost 📸 topsyfarms Skipping Stones
Calm water
Clear evening
Bufflehead ducks float past
Paired off in their monogamish committment
Leaving their dual "V" wakes behind
Buffleheads nest in woodpecker carvings
They deserve some small luxuries for having such a ridiculous name and haircut
The farm kid stands on the smooth limestone shelf
Stands on the edge of adulthood
The farm kid's footing is a large, flat, piece of stone that was once bedrock
It was once the field
But that is a different story
The kid is a Bruce Springsteen song in grey hoodie
Every opportunity is open in the first couple chords, the opening verse
The promise of all
Life choices and circumstances dictate the the story
Easy to get swept away from the path of steady self
Easy to get washed off in Bufflehead wake
The steady self forgotten
The skipping stone is collected from a pile of 1000 candidates
It could've been the time for any of them
In a decade, this one will make it back to the shore
Every ice sheet, west wind, and Bufflehead foot paddle edging it back for another to find
The stone is smooth
Still warm from the late April sun
Warmer than the air
The nearly perfect stone disc fits the work roughened hand
Even at 15, the calluses have formed
Life's work gloves
The stone is the lid of an olive jar
Too big and the spin won't be correct
Too small and there will be insufficient weight
Thumb and pointer finger encircle
Middle finger mimics but takes a passive role; supporting the stone in place
Hand, wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder; none of these skip a stone
The stone is not thrown by arm
Music is not made by the sitting audience
The stone is launched from the head, the back, the guts, the hips, the knees and most of all;
The stone is skipped from the feet
This is the secret of life
This is the secret of skipping a stone
The farm kid will skip this perfect stone with his feet
The spring coils
Every muscle and synapse talking to the big toe
Everything
The stone flies
The spin carries momentum
The water's surface tension doesn't stand a chance
The record of 20 skips and 10 pitter-pats won't be broken tonight;
There is so much more being
