Meteorological Spring — pat morss

March 1st was the beginning of Meteorological spring. We’ll see if Punxsutawney Phil is right that there will be no spring until after the Vernal equinox on March 21st.

A double-ended Canada Goose is feeding on land at Niles Pond

The female is perfectly camouflaged
A male Hooded Merganser arrived on the pond and the women are after him
He looks back, wondering if he made the right choice
He concludes he did

Cheers To March at Tonno

To continue my limited series honoring March and St. Patrick’s Day, cheers to Tonno on Main St. for their version of Irish Coffee! Rich in flavor and very satisfying as we awaited the recent storm huddled by the fireplace. Unlike Netflix, I cannot promise when the next Irish Coffee post will drop, but rest assured you will see another soon!
