A sign of the times

The sign tells us that three locations of Aboffs have been consolidated into two. Hope the new tenant likes art--The mural shown on my January 24 post is just around the corner on the wall of this building.


Good, nobody told the miniature daffodils to stop blooming.

An early stage of this project was the subject of my 11/22/08 post.
Slowly and steadily the work goes on.

Playtime

While waiting for your chicken-and-broccoli you can amuse yourself by riding the bike or swinging the hula hoops. Oh, who's that in the mirror?

My post of March 8th did not do justice to this historic property in Setauket so I am adding a few more pictures. The ones with snow were taken a few weeks back, the others yesterday.

A lawnful of crocuses





On this bright day myriads of crocuses were sprinkled over a front lawn on Main Street, Setauket, adding welcome color. (You'll just have to take my word for that as the color was washed out by the sun.)

Saturday morning regulars

At this busy corner of 25A and Bennets Road every Saturday morning the demonstrators take up their positions facing each other. It would be too simple to say the liberals on one side and the conservatives on the other, but they do seem to represent opposing opinions. Yes, it's free speech, but think how many man-hours (and a few woman-hours) are wasted here, hours that could be used for such things as picking up litter, tutoring kids, reading a book, taking a walk, etc. What good does all this do?
