Miles and I have been making our circuit of the neighborhood most mornings. We’ve been admiring the progress of our new town pool being built next to the ‘hood and running into pretty much the same asian grandparents taking their grandkids for walks in the park. We get big smiles from the elderly asian couple that walk together slowly– she walks backward and he walks forward in front of her (they can’t see each other). The weather has been pretty amazing for morning walks but it is getting too hot by the middle of the day.
Ellen and I are starting to do more work on the garden now that we have actually have thriving plants (you can monitor the progress here). By “work” we mean watering.

We are also mourning the loss of Casco Bay Books. I don’t think it will really truly register until I am there in Portland–in just two short weeks!!. I can’t wait to hang out with the crew…also I will get to meet Miles’ cousin auntie Lulu for the first time! But it is going to be very strange and sad without the caffeine, magazine, clothing, and book fix from the store.

We’ve been spending as much time as possible outside this weekend. Along with Rob and Traci who are visiting this weekend, we ate lunch at Milltown outside, had popsicles at locopops (outside), went to a Durham Bulls game, and had dinner at Top of the Hill on the outside deck! In other news, I am reading books again. I don’t know when I stopped reading…sometime in the winter? In any case, I am ready to get through my pile of tempting books. The first one I’ve started is Colson Whitehead’s Apex Hides the Hurt along with Bit Literacy (a nonfiction book about dealing with information overload). Gotta run–off to the outdoors again…dog walks? gardens? WSM brunch? YES!

The tulips look like they are in shock. At least I didn’t wake up to a foot of snow like some folks I know. In other news, I got a nice letter from a local institution that uses James Taylor lyrics to market itself.

The arrival of Spring here is anticlimactic–it is gray and not particularly warm. However, there are several crocus (croci?) in our garden that are starting to flower!
Happy Spring!
After today, the 10 day forecast lists the highs in the 70s and 80s!
