All part of Life's Rocky Road

Diggin' it

The Spatz boys are working their way up Old Chester laying in the new storm drain

Progress slowed considerably when they encountered that tough Gladstone bedrock

Happy Birthday, Sophia Nancy!

SNS Turns THREE!!!

and for the two or three of you who didn't see it in person, here it is:

No More Riddle

the riddle has been cancelled due to the fact that some people find piggies, calves, asses, hares, and pussy cats offensive.

and also because the use of google to solve life's riddles is an affront to those of us who still believe in the imagination.

Felt like Spring today!

It felt like Spring at the PG Pond/Park today! Happy, smiley kids ran and played non-stop for a couple hours. We should all have good sleepers tonight!

If Only It Would Arrive

Still feelin' a lot like winter

Ah, Sweet Spring!

say,
what lurks
inside that lovely white bloom
that has recently
emerged
from the cold cold gloom
of winter's earth?

i say

it's a bumblebee

god's finest creation
collecting the sweet nectar

of mitigation

and warming even a

cold cold heart.

(blow up the bloom and you shall see)

Peapack-Gladstone Egg Hunt

Despite a slight "turn" of events for Meredith Lawrence (happy to report it was a twisted knee, so no cuts or breaks), the egg hunt was a fun mid-day diversion for our town. I wish I had better pictures - so please post your pictures here! Happy Easter.

Lucky Kids!

Don't Blink. They're Growing Up Fast.
