3-21-13 Spring?

It feels like winter.  The forecast is for snow.  Clumps of snow line the curbs and sidewalks.

I am uninspired today

The Ridgewood Runner does her faithful morning rounds..

this should be her second lap..

My bus friends brave the cold waiting for the express.

We agree it's not such a great spring start.

Bleakness 

 2 hour delay- "Awesome!"  for the kids

 parking lot is plowed by 6AM

has the weather rid us of the news trucks?

 sidewalks are a mess!  

it feels like walking in water

the snow is heavy and wet

boots are a necessity

 un-bleak!

March 18th

Wow, it's in the 20's this morning...it's lonely and dark at 6AM, yet 3 cars zoom on my quiet street.

At the High School a TV news truck holds vigil.  I smile to myself knowing they really ticked off parents last week by parking right at the top of the drop off zone..

just before dawn

The Parish Mission is tonight

Lights, cameras, microphones..

first light

The good news...

Brighton mini bag

don't you dare open!  even the birds realize snow is in the air..

lost

Reporters try to interview parents... I see the drivers roll up their windows and try to pull away...  
but the drop off line is a trap.. it's hard to turn off Brookside in either direction onto Ridgewood Avenue.  Sometimes you sit there for one or 2 lights...Let's see if Channel 4 snags anyone..
If they do it will not be a happy conversation, because dropping off at the HS is a nightmare and nobody is in a decent mood....

Wearing of the Green

Nature begins to wear green for spring....

We wear green today and tomorrow for St. Patrick's Day

 The OLMC Moms are terrific...big sale to benefit the Nuturing Place..
