The Times, They Are A-Changin’ — And a sneak peak

The Times, They Are A-Changin’ — And a sneak peak

The weatherman was finally correct, unfortunately: The image at the top of the page is twenty-four hours earlier than the second picture. Snow started here two days ago and is forecast to continue until morning. To date (and I realize winter doesn’t begin for another four weeks or so), we’ve had more so far than we had all of last winter. The first major winter snowfall of 2024 happened in spring! Of course, it was closely followed by another and…

Merry Christmas With Some Tunes

Merry Christmas With Some Tunes

Spring, glorious Spring!

Spring, glorious Spring!

Welcome to my favorite season, which this year begins March 20. Anyone who knows me is aware of my dislike, bordering on hatred, for winter.  Those months are depressing, with their colder temperatures and limited sunlight, but I think it’s the snow  that bothers me the most, probably because it needs the cold to exist. I’ve often said I might enjoy playing in the stuff if I could do it at 70° or 80° outside (that’s 21° or 27° Celsius)….
