3 April 2010: We're Having A Heat Wave!

The flowers have bloomed over night. Just yesterday they were starting to bud and then today boom...they opened their little petals and declared it spring! Heck, I think we went right to summer as it was 86 yesterday and 84 degrees today. So wonderful after a long, cold winter!

24 April 2009 Photo: Heading Out Like A Lamb

With only a week left in April, it is starting to head out like a lamb. The sun is shining and it is supposed to be in the 80s this weekend. The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and my time on the road is almost done for the semester. These daffodils popped up in my yard while I was in Vermont earlier in the week and you can see the tulip tree really starting to pop in the background. It's going to be a good weekend in the northeast! Get out and enjoy the sunshine!

The tulip tree bud is getting bigger...check it out. http://wide-angle-lens.blogspot.com/2009/04/13-april-2009-photo-rebirth.html

16 April 2009 Photo: The Ceremonial Hanging Of The Hammock

The temperature is going to hit 60 today and there is no snow in sight so I figured it was time for the official hanging of the hammock! Our hammock is my favorite place to hang out on warm summer days and read, sleep and just think. We live on a deadend street so it is pretty peaceful (except for the occasional train). Today has been a day of reflection and hoping and what better place to do that than my trusty hammock!

9 February 2009 Photo: Blue Skies

It had been a glorious weekend...the weather was warmer, the snow was melting, the sun was shining and I can finally see grass in my yard for the first time in months. It's very muddy but at least it is a sign of spring. The weeks and weeks of bitterly cold weather with too much snow was getting old.

As I was driving to New England early this morning, there was an amazingly yellow full moon still shining bright as the sun was coming up. I wished I had stopped the car and taken a photo but I was pressed for time. So when I got to my destination, the blue sky was vibrant and again with NO SNOW falling! Can you tell I am ready for spring???
