The John Barton Payne memorial in Orlean. He was a local lawyer and politician and this huge obelisk caused a local stir, delivered to Marshall by rail, and then dragged slowly on a cart along Crest Hill Rd on its way to the cemetery, often accompanied by curious locals during its journey.

My little boy came home today. I wasn’t expecting a beautiful box or so many cards. It warms me to think that Kota Kat Supreme was regarded so fondly.

Finally picked up my lantern that I made at Big Dog Pots. Not bad for first attempt at fusing glass.

An abandoned barn with a sunshine yellow screen of forsythia on my way home from work. I hope these beautiful blooms survive the snowstorm due this weekend.

The pear blossoms at work are in full bloom with a bird feeder in place, looked after by one of the maintenance guys, and a nest already built. But we’re expecting 3-5” of snow on Saturday which may endanger all this. How depressing.

Saw this just a short distance from home. Made me look twice, kind of cool.

I spent a wonderful afternoon with an old friend at his and his girlfriend’s incredible old house where he was having a Ham & Lamb Easter event. He cooked the lamb outside, it was amazing. Met some fabulous people. A much needed relaxing and fun few hours.
