Spring Break.......

Supposedly, Spring started a month ago. If so, I haven't seen it. When it's been warm, the days have mostly been cloudy and dismal. When it's been sunny, the wind has kept things chilly. That's how it was today.

I drove over to Sewarren just because I hadn't been there in a while. It was early and I was enjoying the sunlight and the quiet. Well, I was until I heard one of those damned leaf blowers. I pulled over to the curb, parked, and looked around. Then I saw this guy.

I got out of my car and moved to the right. I kept looking around, but there was no one else. I took a quick turn around the field, came back, and then.....

Point, press, Flash.

I walked back to my car, got in, and drove away. I headed towards the library in Metuchen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am a Catholic, and I happen to live in the Archdiocese of Metuchen. The cathedral there just happens to be very close to the library. Since it was such a nice day, after having stopped in at the library, I decided to walk over to the cathedral and say a prayer - maybe light a candle - for a family member that recently passed. I know that she wouldn't approve, but I do it anyway, more so for me then for her. It's my way of letting her know that I'll miss her.

On my way back from the cathedral to my car, I noticed this guy sitting on a bench in the back.

 

 

It's quiet back here. I didn't see anyone else around. I took my time.

Point, press, Flash.

I walked on, getting back to my car, and driving on.

I drove up to South Plainfield. I like to look around the Thrift Shop up there, and Thursday you can use their discount card.

I was in there about 1/2 an hour. I didn't get anything for myself, but I got some stuff that my NJ family might be able to use .When I got back in my car, I decided to drive around the perimeter. That's where I came across this guy.

There was no one else back here.

Point, press, Flash.

I drove home.

It was a long, harsh Winter. So far, Spring hasn't been as good as I'd hoped. In fact, I don't like this Spring.

I could use a Spring break.
