ZUKOWSKI/JOHNSON WEEKEND

We had a great, fun filled weekend with Keith, Lisa, Misha, Amanda and Jack. They flew in from CA on Friday. They spent the day in NYC enjoying the sites. They brought back some delicious pastries for us to have at breakfast the next day.

Saturday morning we decided to meet Craig and go for a nice walk at Robert Moses State Park.

Even though Alyssa's birthday wasn't until Monday, we celebrated it on Saturday! Keith made the dessert and it was delicious! It was called something like clofloui but that's not right!

Sunday morning Keith, Lisa, PJ, Craig and Linda all trecked to the Robert Moses Lighthouse for the Spring Equinox celebration. They got there at 6 AM! You get to climb the tower to watch the sunrise! They had a great time! The pics aren't in the correct order. Being that I wasn't there, all I know is that the dark pics come first!



This is actually the moon!

Sunday we went to Dad's house for his 83rd birthday. It was a nice day but a lot like being at a circus! It was nice seeing Dad bond with Jack.

TWIN LAKES

It was a beautiful crisp day today... perfect for picture taking. I decided that today would be the perfect day to take Les, from A TIDEWATER GARDENER , up on his challenge.

"On your own two feet, leave the house and share what can be seen within walking (or biking) distance of your home."

So I did just that! Twin Lakes is so beautiful, no matter what time of the year that you go there. The swans make it extra beautiful. On this walk, I took notice of things that I wouldn't normally stop to look at such as fungus, rings on a cut tree, the shape of roots etc. This was an eye opening challenge! Thanks Les!
