Go for it, sir

The bicycles were back out at Onondaga Lake Park while we were walking during our work breaks this weeek. Nice it was.

More boat time!

I couldn’t tell if this guy was putting the boat in or taking it out. I sure was glad enough for an April day warm enough for it to be coming or going.

Boat time!

Walking on a break from work, we saw the first boat docked in the Onondaga Lake Marina. Happy spring.

It’s not hooked to the dock, but it’s out on the water

Hooray for spring boats out on Onondaga Lake. The site of day fishermen made me smile during a work break walk from the library this week. Hooray to spring. Soon there will be some tied to their seasonal marina slips, I hope.
