Signs of Spring in Connecticut

During a walk around the block
on a mild afternoon in Connecticut,
I spotted some signs of spring...
hmmm, it's still March.

Just click over here to see who else I saw this
afternoon along the way...

Early Morning in Connecticut

My Dad and I were up early this morning...
as very light snow gently fell, I stepped outside.
The sky had a beautiful soft pinkish cast and
the trees were outlined with snow.
So beautiful and peaceful.

Hope all is well in your part of the world.

Some Photos From D in Maine

D sent me these photos today...
he's home in Maine and experienced
a wild windy rain storm the past few days.
Today the sun did return but the damage
remains... no power.


The handicap ramp to the beach was
torn apart as you can see above.

The rain had washed away all of the snow in our yard and
our witch hazel is blooming.
Signs of spring...

I'm down here in Connecticut where it's snowing!

A Rainy Day

Am still in Connecticut, a dark rainy day...

A good day to help my Dad sort things that have been
saved for many years in the basement, much of it is
mundane, light bulbs, hardware, office supplies etc.
but every now and then some treasure from childhood.
It's a slow process for we pause to reminisce often
and end up just putting most things in different containers
and actually discard very little for you never know when
you might need something. The two of us are savers!
He even found some beach rocks
from a very long time ago. At least we are trying
to organize it but have a long ways to go.

Do you have a difficult time throwing things out?

An Overcast Day

Am still in Connecticut...
late this afternoon I took a little walk and
ended up at the nearby park to look for
the ducks I had seen on Sunday.
At first I was disappointed for the pond was
empty. I waited and suddenly saw movement
and was delighted to see the duck couple!

Early Spring in Connecticut

I'm visiting my parents in Connecticut
and there are more signs of spring here
than in Maine.

Sunday was sunny and mild so I
took a little walk to the nearby park.
Along the way I was happy to see some
lovely spring blooms.

forsythia just starting...

a beautiful magnolia...

a mallard couple at the park...


In the evening, we went over the mountain
to my sister's house for her family Sunday dinner.

Another Snowfall

Snow gently fell throughout the morning,
another day in Connecticut.
Being snowed in, I spent the afternoon
watching an old movie with my parents and
doing some drawing.

A Snowy Day

Enjoying the gently falling snow through

the windows of my parents home in

Connecticut.

May the New Year bring peace,

contentment, health and happiness.
