Both spring holidays Passover and Easter are here this weekend! Our first seder was on Friday night. As much as I love Passover and getting together with my family, I hate it when my birthday is during Passover when we can’t eat anything with leavening. So no traditional birthday cake, boo hoo. But Jeff is …
April showers bring May flowers, the saying goes. We’ve been getting some of each this past week. We’re having plenty of rain and fog, but the crocuses, daffodils, forsythia, and even some flowering trees have started to open! I am celebrating our April birthdays with a friend and Jeff tonight. On Sunday, I will be …

This week flew by. But now we’re firmly in early spring. My garden has begun to come up a couple of weeks ahead of schedule. No complaints from me. I can hardly wait to see flowers again. Now if I can only figure out what to do with the solid moss “lawn” I have in …
This week seemed to fly by. Did it seem that way to you, too, or was it just me? Jeff’s younger daughter gave birth to a baby girl on Monday. Very, very exciting! We won’t get to see her till May or June, but we can hardly wait. In the Boston area, we had a …

How wonderful that it’s March, and next week we turn the clocks ahead! Even with snow still on the ground and frigid temperatures, I can see that spring is coming. My daffodils are starting to come up in spite of the cold! And also how wonderful that Jeff came through the vascular surgery with flying …
As I look out the window on Friday afternoon at the heavy but beautiful snow coming down, I know I am just putting off the inevitable: going outside to shovel. But it does look like it will be top-notch snow for snowshoeing, so at least there’s that. Quite the change from the almost 70 degree …
Our short-lived preview of spring has disappeared and today we’re expecting snow squalls and showers. Not enough to snowshoe or do anything fun. But I can tell that spring is only a month away. The light is stronger and much brighter. The sun actually makes it onto my front lawn for an hour or two, …

This week, lots of us in different parts of the U.S. have had unusually cold temperatures, snow or ice.

What are you up to this long winter weekend? Here in Boston, we’ll be tuning in tonight to see if the Patriots’ rookie quarterback, Mac Jones, can win his first playoff game.
