Here, it's coming. But the big news is the price of a cappuccino has gone up! From 1.20 to 1.30...

It’s not only off from the mainland, but you can drive east to west from PTown to the bridge in the Spring and see the flowers further along as you go.  The ocean does strange things to weather.

Sure does!!  I have a friend in Wareham up off of rte 58 and during the changing of seasons its diferent between his place, and ours in West Yarmouth. Its crazy, but makes sense.

I once read an article that stated, from a meteorological perspective, Spring begins March 1st. YMMV.

Well, we have bouncing from close to freezing to high 70's last week, and my grass needs to be cut.  So I am saying, the first day I cut my grass, spring has sprung for us here in the swamp.
haven't seen any mosquitos yet, but they can't be far behind.  Only 2 days of frost this year, so pretty mild.  Although, it has been colder for more days than usual as I remember, but WTH do I know, I am old and senile.
Fronts have passing through like low and high tide for the past 2 weeks, wind, rain, cooler weather, then sunshine.  heater at night and AC during the day.  So, yeah, spring is in the air.

Been riding during the day. this past week.

I will say this though.  My neighbor got a new rooster, and I am gonna have rooster stew pretty soon if someone doesn't beat me to it.

That makes a lot more sense than the traditional way that is more commonly believed to be the way.

Today, the Sandhill Cranes that hang out in the field outside our house every summer just arrived. They show up every spring.

Today’s been a tease. It’s a sultry 65°F, so I took the opportunity to take the Guzzi rig on both its inaugural grocery AND freeway trip combined.





Ready for the fresh powder that’s on its way!
