Winter's last gasp?
To finish up the story of J visiting Western Mass, here's our last outdoor adventure that we had on Monday. We went to Barton's Cove across the river from Turners Falls, in Gill, to see if by chance we could spot the eagle's nest. And, I think we did! Not very well, but I think it's there in them there trees. It was sunny, but beyond cold with the wind, so our nature visit was short lived out there. J took some silly movies with her camera both here and at the St. Patrick's Day parade, which at some point I'll try to figure out how to post them here (Hmmm ... maybe after my teaching application is due). In the mean time, check out flickr for the rest of the last of winter (I hope!!). It's been in the 40's for high temps since Monday, so I'm praying we're in the clear!
Check out the eagles nest blob! Don't forget the eagle cam!
Check me out!
J took this lovely shot of the ice in the Connecticut. Just two weeks or so ago, I could see stick figures walking around on this ice from the Turners Falls side of the river. Goofy ice fishing peoples. However, the ice is too mushy to walk on now. Ha! Take that winter!

St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston 2006
The St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston on Sunday exceeded all expectations for this Norwegian! Green, cold, festive fun was had by all. I've posted a bunch of photos on flickr. Enjoy the browsing.

It's about Guiness!
The view!

Climb every laundry mountain
I finally got some laundry done tonight. Four triple loads and a single at Suzee's! The current plan is to have the clean laundry piled up in my living room, so I'll be more motivated to fold it. Luzee however, has another plan.
What's wrong with this picture?
The Answer:
Make the Pie Higher!
Who me?

Shelburne Falls Fancy Rocks
J and I went to Shelburne Falls on Saturday, hoping to relive an amazing breakfast we had there last November, but sadly the cafe was closed for spring break. We found another adequate meal though, and then trudged around taking in the scenics. Last time we were there snow covered the rocks in the falls, so we didn't know how pretty the rocks were. Now we know, and so do you! Vote for your favorite pet Shelburne Falls rock today on flickr!
After Shelburne Falls, we went to Brattleboro, VT. A fun wee little town where there is a chapel converted to a Hotel Pharmacy. Of course!
J and the Lady K
J finished up her visit to Western Mass today. Here are some of our adventures from her travels.
I'll start with J at the Lady K on Saint Patrick's Day.

Eagle cam!
Howdy! There is an eagles couple that regularly nests at Barton's Cove on the Connecticut River near Turners Falls. The local access TV plays the eagle cam all the time when they are nesting, and today I got to see the changing of the guard for sitting on their 2 eggs! One egg showed up on Monday, and another one on Wednesday, so the current projection is that there will be baby eagles approximately April 9th. Check out the eagles! (during daylight hours EST).

By request from Mz. Z - UMASS Amherst campus photos
I had some time in between my Wave Books internship in East Hampton and a poetry reading on campus to finally take photos of the UMASS campus. Sorry it took awhile Mz. Z! It snowed a smidge this afternoon, so the campus doesn't look too bad. It was twilight, so not all the photos are in focus, but they're still festive. UMASS Amherst actually isn't the most picturesque campus. Smith, Amherst, and Mt. Holyoke campuses nearby are super charming. I'll try to get some photos of them too. A few of the buildings at UMASS fall into the University of Oregon Prince Lucien Hall category of beauty -- as in the architect liked it, and that's about it. The W.E.B. Dubois Library is looking its best when reflected in the campus pond. For more photos of UMASS go to flickr!
There is a cute little chapel.
