That was a very fast Spring! I was working all day with the windows open and suddenly realized it is freezing in here! Shut all the windows.........

Maybe next week....

The most important thing of all.

I just called, and there is no answer.

The fire horn went off at noon in the town I grew up in. I forgot all about that.

You know...when I wrote the thread last night I had that thought of the fire horn @ the Electric Company off Rogers St. It would also go off @ noon every day and @ 9:00 PM which would signal curfew time for us youngsters!

I have some windows open right now, and I LOVE the scent of cedar when it warms up

Dun ... I haven't heard the expression "roggie poggies" in years! It was oh-so-accurate, though, wasn't it!

I'm sitting here with all my windows wide open, gentle breezes floating my curtains out into the room, followed by the unmistakeable smell of spring ...

When I look outside, I see the beginnings of all those glorious shades of green that the new buds bring, and I'm excited about (believe it or not) going to the cemetery and giving the grass its first cut of the season.

Winter has been washed from our souls ...

memories of smells and sounds....remember when they used to blow the fire horn every day at noon?

I wish that they would bring the horn back. It also went off when fire alarm boxes were pulled and when there was no school.

Rockport still does!

I've been working late the last few evenings and it is so wonderful to have the windows open and listen to the birds and the peepers. I can hear boats in the harbor and the trains coming and going. There are few sounds I love more than leaves rustling in a night breeze and a train in the distance.

Get up to Lanesville. We drove up there last night just to get away from the orange evening sky of Gloucester.

That was great, Dun! Even with just words, you paint quite a picture. Heh. Hope you checked your shoes at the door.

As I take the dog out to do her buisness I'm struck of the smells and sounds of Gloucester at night that signal that summer is approaching. Wafting through a mild breeze,67 degrees @ 11:56 PM Gorton's batter. I listen as I hear the distant rumble of the train's diesel engine...then fades away. Next the droan of a far away 18 wheeler reefer only to be washed out by the sirens of a rescue squad and or fire engine and or police cruiser. Gone are the days of the de-hy,no more roggy...
