    That's what I've dubbed the "last hurrah snowstorm." I've been wondering if we'll get it this year. Often, in March, we get the biggest snowstorm of the year. It doesn't happen every year, but it happens enough that I've come to expect it. I wonder if that snowstorm is headed our way after it...

    Here's another one about how the brain works. Most of us don't notice a lot of peripheral details. I don't, for sure. I first thought of this question as a teenager when reading Rudyard Kipling's book, Kim. If you never read it, you might like it. I sure did. At one point in the story, Kim was...

    Today, when I was tutoring, the girl read about optical illusions and saw a few examples I printed out. She was fascinated, so I will email her a bunch more I found on the Internet. Meanwhile, I came across this, which is both amazing and funny. Laugh & be amazed at how your mind can trick you!

    On Thursday, the boy I tutor is going to be in a play at the Hangar Theater. I plan to go see him and hope to take pictures. It's an interesting, creative project, where the class writes the script and acts in it. If you want to know details, see...

    I'm so jealous of all you folks experiencing spring. Right now, it's snowing here. We've had snow every morning since that snow on the first day of spring, and there's still winter snow on the ground, too. The new snow has been melting at midday, but a fresh coat lands each morning. Yesterday...

    To follow up on Uncle's post ... What you need is this one! (I shot this outside a company near Waterloo, NY.)

    Because it's now officially spring, even if it doesn't look like it outside, here's another spring photo from my collection.

    You have more snow than we got. I went out this morning to do some errands and heard on the car radio that NYC is supposed to get up to 6". We only got slightly less than the promised 1" maximum. It's still snowing lightly, but unless it starts up again harder, I think that's all we'll get. The...

    Good morning, everyone. It's the first day of spring, and it's snowing. It's not supposed to amount to more than an inch. Not unheard of here. We often get a little snow on the ground in April.

    Compared to the horrible cold we had all winter, 32 feels great!

    I just got back from grooming Penny. It felt delightful at 32º F and bright sunshine. Her back foot/leg is almost normal. I didn't rub her leg and picked it up with no trouble, but she didn't lift it as high as the other one, and I didn't try to get it higher. Her toe was off the ground by...

    Lizzie, from what I can tell, it's even more overcast tonight than it was last night. Not many stars. I think this area is just not good for sky-watching. In fact, I think this should be our theme song:

    Q, I'm so glad that my post alerted you and that you were able to see the aurora!

    Good morning, Lizzy. I see you and Hubby are busy, as usual. No, I didn't see the aurora last night. I went out and looked, but I think we got some cloud cover. I only saw one star, which means it wasn't a very clear night. When I looked out the back, I saw a glow in the sky from the lights of...

    Good night, all. This photo is of more ice chunks breaking up in the Taughannock Creek. The snow is melting out there, and there are bare spots in places now.

    I just found out that we might be able to see the aurora borealis (northern lights) farther south than usual tonight and maybe some subsequent nights. They say it might be seen as far south as Maryland in the East, but not that far south in the West. Still, if your sky is clear, look for it...

    Wuzz, when I hear it's almost 90 there, I don't envy you. I start to lose my mind when it gets to 90. I could never live in Florida. Here, though, it's about 40, which isn't too bad, but the wind is howling. I chickened out and decided not to go to the barn today. I should, but Penny will be OK...

    Good night with more trees in the snow. It's melting fast, though. Today, before I went off to tutor the kids, I chipped away at the ice to make a path from my door to my car. I salted the area first, left it for a while, then went out with the ice chipper and hacked till I nearly got a...

    Lizzie, thanks for the purse report and the hawk ID. Your springtime photos make me jealous. We will have a high today of 51, which is about the warmest it's been so far, but there's still ice in the driveway where the shade from the house falls. I just went out and sprinkled salt on a path from...

    Good night, folks. I might check in after this, but maybe not till tomorrow morning. On my walk the other day, I saw a hawk circling. I'm not sure what kind it is. We have a lot of hawks around here, and I think they're mostly this kind. Maybe a red-tailed hawk?
