More Signs that Spring is Here

….even though it’s still March and spring is officially here I say this with some trepidation

The sun is high in the sky, people are catching some rays on park benches, a few brave souls are playing tennis and we’ve started cooking outdoors again.P1050952

March Square – March 19, 2018

…thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square

I’m a day late with this one. Time just ran out yesterday with a long doctor’s appointment in the afternoon and a visit with our daughter that started with coffee and pastries at our local Italian bakery and then went into dinner at our place.  After supper I drove my daughter to the subway station and then I continued on to a book club in the evening.

A Special St. Paddy’s Day Treat

….not your usual treat when you think of St. Patrick’s Day

In the coffee shop that we stopped into today they had run out of their specialty doughnuts but they had one green St. Patrick’s Day croissant left. Not only was it somewhat green but it was also filled with raspberry jam and Bailey’s Irish liquor. Since there was only one left we had to pair it up with a French chocolate almond croissant. Both were very yummy but the green croissant was extra special.

Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Bikes of Any Kind

…thanks to Cee for hosting her Black and White Photo Challenge: Bikes of Any Kind

I went way back into the archives for this one and found a very old photo of my Dad on his motorbike taken back in the late 40s. I also found some photos from a bike show that we attended two years ago, a cycling trip with friends last summer and today I found a bike mounted on the wall in the coffee shop we stopped at.
