More Signs of Spring — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

It’s not JUST the birds

Tulips from the store, but they’ll be live on the Boulevard soon
Japanese influence
Not sure what tree produces these seed pods
But they blow around like creepy-crawlers on the ground
The Yankee Fleet has been taking people fishing for several weeks
A crazy inverted mirage of Nahant covering the Boston skyline
The Humpback Whales are back (no tail action)
Looking into our living room
The boys are on the prowl
Glad I found you
Heralding spring

Azorean Restaurant Weekday Specials!

Posted on by Pat D

It was my lucky day this week when we stopped at the Azorean Restaurant on Washington Street for a little dinner. The weekday special was pizza, which was exactly what I was craving. When we talk about favorite pizzas, the Azorean doesn’t come straight to mind for many of us, but I think it’s a very tasty choice (among many many tasty choices on their menu). That it was on special was a bonus! We ordered bread and oil to start. Jim had the Azorean salad and we shared some Italian pizza. It was a lovely relaxed experience with the staff following all safety protocols.
