School of the bigger hammer

I love it when sometimes, all that's needed to get the job done...is a bigger hammer. This guy could use Billy Llewellyn's 10 lb. maul, named Merle. Shot in Lunenburg Feb. 24th.

Now that's my kind of lawn!

I love all the crocuses and daffodils popping up in lawns around the county. Less grass, more perennials..I like it!

Just around the corner

Next thing you know, there will be leaves EVERYWHERE, can't wait! Spotted these red maple buds last Friday...

What's on this weekend? MAPLE SYRUP!!!

Oh, the choices! If you have a sweet tooth, head out to Maplewood Saturday afternoon...

Boys and their toys

South Shore Ready Mix was on site at Bluenose Academy this week, along with an interesting concrete pumper truck.

A crew of 'placers' was on the top floor moving the concrete around...I'm assuming a crew of 'finishers' will follow them shortly. Concrete is an interesting business.

Chomp chomp, goes the ocean

The winter storms took a serious bite out of the wall 'o' rocks behind Hirtle's Beach, CHOMP!

What's old is new again

This day involved a very stinky layer of tar being applied to the roof, eww.
