Spring and a little warm weather changes the world here!

It is funny how the moment the weather breaks even the slightest bit the island begins to come alive.l
It is very welcome mind you. The pace actually picks up but at the same time seems to slow down. People work at a faster pace yet there seems to be so much less a sense of urgency than in the winter when there is nothing else to focus on or keep interest.
Boats ,fixing up houses , and just plain getting ready for the summer.
It is a magic time at the shore where the flowers start to pop and the spirits generally cheer.
The houses are moving along and they will move faster now as the weather is permitting.
Here are the latest !!!!!!!!!!

Candle fire and clogging the drain of the disposal.

When you leave a real large candle burning in your house in a large glass container it has a tendency to melt all the wax, and fill the house with smoke.
The good thing is when you come home early enough, and your house hasn't burnt down.
Then when your drain doesn't work the next day, and you pour Draino down it to unclog it, and use a plunger multiple times, to no avail.
You think, "well it was melted wax and not that much of it that we dumped down the drain."
Finally you decide to take the trap out under the garbage disposal, and as you do you find this in the trap and the adjoining pipes.
Oh boy we live and learn.

Van Morrison 'Astral Weeks" Alright

Took the family to see Van Morrisons special concert performing "Astral Weeks". It is not my favorite album of his yet the quality of the performance was wonderful.

His genius is still evident, and the band he assembled is tremendous .
"Veedon Fleece" and many others are my preferred albums, but the public blessed this album and made it gold.
Either way it was great to see the man play and sing .
He still has an amazing voice.

The greats of the 60's and 70's are on the last mile, and need to be appreciated.
