Just a House

I stopped at a traffic light that doesn't usually stop me.  Looking to the left, I saw this interesting house that I had never noticed before.  Fascinating what we see when we look around.

St. Stephen's

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of Ridgefield, Connecticut, stands on a prominent site on 

Ridgefield's Main Street.  The church has been on the same plot of land since 1725.  

The current sanctuary is the fourth and it is already more than 100 years old.

Tulips

 

Some of the tulips at Elizabeth Park are in bloom.

Magnolias

The magnolias are in full bloom this week.

The Whale

My kids loved climbing around in this hollow metal-and-concrete whale at The Children's Museum.  Now it is the first place Susie's older daughter Willa wants to go when in West Hartford.

Spring In West Hartford

I'm in Connecticut two to three weeks earlier than in recent years.

It is the first time in recent years that I have seen daffodils, tulips, flowering fruit trees,
forsythia and other harbingers of a New England spring.

Two Sillies

Hazel put an Easter basket over her head.  Willa thought it was so funny that she did it, too.
