Mother's Day, Summer, and Street Work

Sunday, May 12, 2013. Mother's Day. I still haven't set out the hummingbird feeder: maybe tomorrow, or the day after. Or sometime.

It finally looks and feels like summer: complete with green grass.


The water tower, wrap makes it an even more prominent landmark. May 7, 2013.


Same thing, seen from the north: more or less. May 7, 2013.


Street work, west of Main now. May 10, 2013.


Street work, looking toward the public library and St. Paul's. May 10, 2013.

I hope the street and (sewer? storm drain?) work wasn't put too far behind schedule by this year's 'spring' weather.

May, and No Snow!

Sunday, May 5, 2013. Last Sunday looked like spring, except for the huge piles of snow here and there. These photos, from last week's entry, show what I mean.


Sunday: Most of the snow is gone. There's a bit left below this picture, near the north side of the house. April 28, 2013.


Friday: A closer look at the same pile. April 25, 2013.

That was then, this is now. I haven't checked everywhere, but if there's any snow left it won't be around for long. It's been above freezing all night: and the grass is more sincerely green.


Around sunset: and no snow!. May 5, 2013.

Tomorrow I plan to get the hummingbird feeder out.
