still March cold

I'm late by about 15 minutes.

What a difference that makes in the morning.

You can see-

and the birds are singing.

That's nice-

I have not heard them of late.

 32 degrees still calls for winter attire.

I see Mike- he's behind like me, wearing his warm hat

and Maddie- way behind too

cleaning the movie theater

The Pancake House is faithfully open at dawn

the daffs are so hearty

Venture Photography is such a cool place.

I first noticed it last year on my walks as it was getting built

in the place where the bath shop was next to Starbucks.

When the contractor told me it was to be a photography studio

I was pretty surprised.

What surprised me even more is the exceptional, fun experience a photo session here can be.

We had a family shoot in the summer before my daughter left for college.

They tell you to bring your favorite things.

"What kind of things?" I asked.

I was told- "see those front doors?  We chose this place so we could get a horse in here."

Well, if they could get a horse in, then they could get my husband's Vespa scooter in..

and if they could his Vespa in, then they could get my Vino in...

The photos are extraordinary.

It's a real AdVenture

Lots of dust flying and lights shining on the field.

It looks like instead of mowing we have vacuuming.

after

Today is the last day of the 100 hour burn.. testing tomorrow.

First light

The first light of day is visible

It is 10 degrees warmer too

It will be a good day.

Frozen morn- breakfast with Jo at Sook

The old saying about March going out like a lamb

is not holding true this year.

It is 26 frozen degrees again.

If this keeps up we may be skating on the ponds again.

Where O where is Spring?

To receive a gift from Arthur Groom's is to get a lifetime treasure.

There is no better place to shop.

 SOOK

Joanne is with me this morning

and we stop in for breakfast

Jo takes good pictures-

this is her composition

Thanks Jo!

We get a chance to talk to Sook
who is obviously a morning person.

She is a darling

Her recommendation is to try the crepes

made on French crepe makers.

 - there is so much more to look forward to
in this delighful cafe

Just how many hours have the lights burned of the 100 needed?

They were on full blast last night

and you could clearly see the entire field.
I asked my daughter who was with me about the turf field
and she said it is great for running.
Evidently you can worry less about spraining your ankle
and can expect the field to dry faster after flooding.
...great on the sports side, says the Track Team member
but no so great on the environmental side
says the Environmental Club member.

One beat up cent
is still a find
