Now let’s dry it up
I could take a stroll and dodge the wet, yes. But I sure have had enough of the April showers, snow and rain. Walking socially distanced will be more pleasant when it’s dryer and warmer, I imagine.
Boats were out on the lake
A quick stroll from the Village of Liverpool to the Onondaga Lake Park marina area this past week yielded no boats docked. Yet. I did, however, spot the obvious signs of two boat owners who’d gone out for some time on the lake. I looked on the water but did not see them. We are…
