Who could imagine when we were there that Norwell would be on CBS News?!

Very nice kid as well as an amazing shot!

The Blizzard of β€˜26 is in the books, and it was a doozy. But how did it compare to the great Cape storms of yesteryear? Join Cape author & historian Don Wilding at Eastham’s Chapel in the Pines, 220 Samoset Road, on Sunday, March 15 at 10 am for his presentation of β€œHistoric Storms of Cape Cod.”

@emszuplat.bsky.social I am sure you have heard about the blizzard! And yet, Penelope is loving all the birds singing! And, unbelievably, the ENTERPRISE was delivered! Our driver & his wife told me that they live in Bourne & believe Bourne did a much better job of cleaning the snow off the roads!

Being at a dead end makes a gigantic snow pile in front of one driveway! Happily one car was on the other side of the house!

What the World Needs Now - for Virtual Orchestra
What the World Needs Now - for Virtual Orchestra YouTube video by Shelbie Rassler

This remains one of my most favorite songs & this particular version continues to give me hope. Performed during the height of the 2019 pandemic. Berklee College of Music students performing. Give it a listen.

This was a big book at the time … there could be a sequel about the current guy … only with nightmares in the title.

i am running into a new year
By Lucille Clifton

i am running into a new year
and the old years blow back
like a wind
that i catch in my hair
like strong fingers like
all my old promises and
it will be hard to let go
of what i said to myself
about myself
when i was sixteen and
twenty-six and thirty-six
even thirty-six but
i am running into a new year
and i beg what i love and
i leave to forgive me
