Last Week–This Week! A sign of Spring...

Last week we had snow!

Maybe, three or four inches of the stuff. There is still some remaining on my lawn. This week started out quite cold. One night it was 29 degrees. Brrrr! But, yesterday it was GEORGEOUS! Bright – Sunny – beautifuly mild. I think we made it up to 65.  WOW!  I’ll take it.

Today, is another great weather day. Sunny and we are supposed to be in the upper 60s by this afternoon. (somewhat windy, though)

All in all – a lovely taste of spring.
See what I discovered yesterday morning?  Flowers!

Job Situation

Don’t see how the employment situation is getting better.
I picked up the Ipswich Chronicle newspaper the other day and was totally shocked at the lack of employers seeking workers. Granted, many employers use internet adds these day, but this was ridiculous. There was less than 1/4 of a page! And, a couple of them weren’t actually real jobs, they were come-ons for schools.



When I first moved here – many years ago, there would typically be a few pages of job adds.  Not good…
