On This Day - March 2nd
Seeing some freezing on the branches. Winter is still with us. Here is a look back on this day in previous years.
I'm looking out the window wondering if we are going to get an ice buildup on the branches. The temperature is hovering just above freezing which is a bad sign. Looking back on photos taken on this day, I realize that winter is still very much with us. It will be a few more weeks till I see something bloom.

Mar 2, 2019 -Look what I saw at the Green Center
This date fell on a Saturday and I was working at the Green Center. Someone brought in a VR headset for an iPhone. I gave it a try with a stereoscopic photo from the historical society. A blend of technology from two different centuries. The photo is the original Appleton Academy in New Ipswich, NH.

Mar 2, 2019 - Morning flight
After my stint at the Green Center I headed out for lunch, but stopped at Water Loom pond to watch someone flying a RC model airplane. Unlike drones, these seem to be rather challenging to fly.
March 2, 2019 - Dalia's
I've posted that we need a coffee shop . In 2019 you could get a nice bowl of Portuguese soup at Dalia's in Greenville, just a short drive away. Sadly it couldn't remain open.
March 2, 2008 - Lots of snow
There was a lot of snow on the ground on this day in 2008. I was visiting my mother in New Boston, NH. My nephew took her for a ride in his jacked-up jeep.

There was snow on this day in 2007 but it didn't deter us from taking a walk across the dam. Seemed like a blizzard when we did it. I followed behind John Weber and "Bud" the dog.

The wind wasn't too bad in the wooded part of our walk.

Website Tweaks
I am aware that this website is clunky and takes a while to load. Some of that is due to having images hosted on Flickr instead of natively. I eliminated a number of plugins which "may" be slowing it down as well as enabling caching. Hopefully that will speed things up. Thanks for being a reader/subscriber.
