Sunday morning

Yogi Berra may have said it first, but I've been thinking it alot, lately:

"Déjà vu all over again!"


This morning.

More snow.



******

Just within the past week the Winter Aconite bloomed, the snow had melted at the base of a particular tree on Fuess Cleary Road and I went looking for the first signs of Hepatica leaves ......


and the Treens expected grading to begin at the Buell Avenue site of their new "Home Shoppe."

Some consolation: snowmobilers and skiiers will be happy!

***********

Well - we have Spring to look forward to, again,

as well as these events:

MONDAY EVENING

THE NEW STREET LAMPS WILL BE TESTED

AND WILL ALL BE TURNED ON FROM APPROXIMATELY 7:00 - 8:30.

The exact date and time of the "official" Lighting Ceremony will be announced, well in advance, in the Waterville Times and on this blog.
