Message of the Day –A Snowman
How often does a “Message of the Day” show up at my front door?It wasn't the message, actually. It was to mother of my son's friend who rang the door bell.
As I talked with her, I noticed her bright yellow Crocs.
And, then, there was the Jibbitz.
The photo can be enlarged by clicking on it.
It was a snowman.
Not exactly my wish.
Reflect a moment on how hard it is to figure out how to spell “Jibbitz” when one has only heard the word and didn't catch the “b's.”

Message of the Day – Melting Snowball
There was a BIG snowball under this evergreen tree. It could have been used to be the base of a snowman.
My son and a neighborhood friend rolled it down the little hill we live on.
It has sat there for about a month.
This morning it was almost gone.
This part of our yard along Lake Avenue gets more sun than any other part.
It's where my yellow flowers my color blind eyes can appreciate come up in the spring.
If I get the leaves up in time.
As usual, you can enlarge any of the photographs by clicking on them.And, send me a picture of your yard's your first flower and I'll post it as a "Message of the Day."

Message of the Day – A Snowman
This huge snowman sits on a prominent corner in the Coventry subdivision of Crystal Lake.
See if you can find it. I looked for it and could not, but a friend gave me this picture.

Message of the Day – A Remnant
This is not your ordinary remnant. It's not a piece of cloth.
And it has no religious overtones.
It’s just the end of an excellent snowman on Spruce in Crystal Lake that we passed on the way home from picking up my son at South School.
I wish I had a “before” picture.
This was taken on Tuesday, when the temperature was a window-opening 70 degrees.
The snowman had completely melted by Wednesday.
Another sign of spring.
