Appreciation For The Four Seasons
I was walking the dog this week in the light snow we had Wednesday morning. I had on my winter coat, hat and gloves and Charlie was in his winter coat. Suddenly I had a flashback to just a few months ago. It was only four or five months ago that we would only go…

What Makes Summer So Special?
Why is summer so special for some of us? I say “some” because I know not everyone loves summer as much as I do. Many people prefer Fall, some Spring and the occasional oddball looks forward to Winter every year. What’s wrong with some people? Kidding. I’m kidding. This week brought the arrival of summer.…

A NICE Thing About March
I had a great day yesterday as Priscilla and I took the dogs to Fort Taber. I watched the news Friday night. I usually watch Channel 4, WBZ, and I like their meteorologist Eric Fisher. He seems to have a good track record with New England weather. He said Saturday would be the best day…

Fighting the Winter Blues
How are you holding up my friend? This can be a difficult time of year for some folks, I feel a bit of it myself. The weather is colder, the holidays have passed and you might be struggling with those new year’s resolutions. I read something this week that said most people give up on…
