Day 97 South Wedge

I spent some time with my cousin, Carol, today stepping around the South Wedge. The sun was out, and it was a perfect day for wandering. The South Wedge is full of many small businesses. These are some of the places we stopped. Mise en Place, on the corner of South Ave. and Gregory St., […]

Day 93

It’s great to see all the tulip and daffodil bulbs poking out of the ground, but I’m anxious for the flowers and not just the stems so I had to pick up this bouquet of tulips when I went to Wegmans today. Hurry up spring!

Day 92

I got up at 7:00 and took my last walk on the beach this morning as the sun came up. And then, before I knew it, I was home again. It still blows my mind that I can get from Orlando to Rochester or vice versa in less than 3 hours. Not even enough time […]

Day 91 National Poetry Month

It’s April 1, and that means it’s the beginning of National Poetry Month. (no joke) So I’ll be stepping into verse more often for the next 30 days. Here’s a short poem to get us started.
