Sunsets Later in April with Time Change in Photos

It was a nice sunny day yesterday in Southern New England. The temps hit in the mid 50's and with some wind.  I could not resist going for a walk at sunset time. The extra time we gained from the time change last month has really given us longer sunsets and more time in the evening to be outdoors and enjoy nature. 

I passed the soldier that stands in front of the high school I used to attend years ago. I could not remember where the soldier came from - you can read via the plaque above the history behind it.

I noticed a difference from the mid march skies just a few weeks ago.

As you can see from this chart below, each day gives us 2 more minutes of daylight this month.

Do you enjoy having more sunlight each day? 

Do you do anything special to enjoy it?

Down Memory Lane In The Old Town

This view is from the old high school field I used to play in for Softball and  gym class. I could view my grandparents home from here. It looks like so many trees have grown quite tall and wide since those days. I still walk at the track which is just above this area but I hadn't driven back here in a long time to view it.

This is the view of the Middle School which was Jr. High where I got stuck for a week during the blizzard of 1978. We had to wait until the National Guard could bring us home.

One of the softball fields I used to play on for many years including with my grandfather, sister and cousins before I was old enough to play on the teams. It looked much bigger years ago. 

The Unofficial | Official Start of Summer

A day trip to the bay on the long weekend - Felt just like summer! The calendar still says spring but the beaches say summer.

New England - Where Weather Changes Quickly!

This was the scene 2 days ago when we had a little snow - very little for the entire winter here in Southern New England.

And this was the scene today going for a walk - with no more snow.  If you don't like the weather here, just wait a few minutes and it does change.
