Another day of 60 degree temps, and the flowers and trees are going crazy. Before too much longer, I’m expecting the tulips to show up. That and the the forsythia should be along soon. (My birthday is on Tuesday, and my mom likes to tell me how the forsythia were blooming the day I was […]
Probably about the best thing about being in Rhode Island over the weekend is that they’re so much further ahead in the season then we are up here in the Great Frozen North, and it was so nice to see all the green, and buds on the trees. Heck, it was even warm enough to

I’m back from a lovely long weekend in the Adirondacks in New York, and Southwestern Vermont. I actually have another solid day off before having to go back to work, which will bring the time off to a lovely close. I was able to grab some great flower pictures, as well as some scenics from
