Sunday Lunch in Mendon

We had a lovely lunch with Dr. Richard and his daughter, Jerree. They gave Rich this bouquet of roses to celebrate almost five weeks out of surgery with instructions to share a couple with the physical therapist who has helped him make such great progress.

Chickadee at the feeder

Note to self: In the future, leave Vermont for the month of March. Just because the chickadee stays here all year does not mean that I have to!!

New hairdo, new apron

I have always loved aprons and they must be making a comeback because I bought this one at TJMAXX.

First Day of Spring

It is not easy to get a good picture of a turkey. I sprinkled seed closer to the house and took the screen out of the kitchen window and he did not suspect a thing.

Open Window

Last night I slept with the window open for the first time in 2011. Woke up to a chorus of crows, redwings, bluejays and mourning doves. Got up and had the second best cup of coffee ever. Someday I will write about the first.

Big Moon

Looking toward Luce Road at the almost full moon. Sometimes it is so beautiful here, it hurts.

Sleeping in the snow

Last fall I planted hundreds of bulbs--all kinds. Today, St. Patrick's Day, they are still buried in the ground under a blanket of snow. But soon they will wake up, and many, like the crocus and the snow drops, will blossom through a covering of snow.
