It's Spring on Madison Street!


Out on Fuess-Cleary Road, there are more and more clumps of Hepaticas showing up and the Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) is starting to bloom.

The blood-like juice that can be extracted from this plant's root was used by Native Americans as body paint. Native Americans and early settlers also used Bloodroot to treat medical conditions such as soar throats, skin cancers, and treatment of ringworm, worts, or polyps.

Redwinged Blackbirds are fussing over their puddly, wetland territories.


The Boston Redsox did it again, adding a few pages to the history books with Sunday's 7-6 win, sweeping the Yankees at Fenway Park for the first time since 1990 and tying a Major League record with homers in four straight at-bats.
