Friday Funnies

It's the first day of spring, which officially arrives today in the Eastern US on Friday, March 20, at 10:46 a.m.

That said, the Nashua, NH, weather for the upcoming week is less than Spring-like and includes the possibility of light snow early this coming Monday.
Last week, gulls were sunning themselves on some ice that remained on the Nashua River. Most of this ice has since melted and the water is free flowing as of this past week.
The open water brought a return of mallard ducks and pairings off were definitely in evidence.
It will be weeks until any spring colors are seen here as it's been a long cold and snowy winter season.
This car parked downtown last week is the closest to the color of daffodils, which won't be blooming here for a while. The eyes and lashes were unusual and cute.

This weekend starts off with attendance at the Tiny Film Festival at the Nashua Public Library. This fun annual event consists of viewing 1-minute films submitted by community members in several age groups. Attendees will walk the red carpet, then view the submitted films. The evening is capped off by an awards ceremony. (Library staff voted on the winning films.)

Saturday, we're on a road trip as oldest granddaughter is participating in a cheerleading tournament in MA and earplugs will be taken along. If you've ever been to one of these events, you will know why these are a good great take-along. 

Sunday, the Nashua Historical Society is hosting its annual member luncheon. These are always interesting events. This year, attendees have been asked to bring along something old to show and discuss. So, Patrick told me I could take him 😀.

Our at-home St Patrick's dinner was delicious thanks to chef Patrick. And, thanks for sharing how you would be observing the day (or not).

Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
Spring weather will arrive —eventually.

I've never been to a cheerleading competition, but I can imagine how loud it would be. Have fun!

Except for the winter weather it sounds like a great week.

Sandra said...

It's generous of Patrick to be shown as something old!

Jeanie said...

It's nice to see water out on the river! And that's a darling car!

The Tiny Film Festival sounds brilliant. Have a great time on the round trip and keep the earplugs handy.

It was very spring-like here in Kentucky, today. But! March/early April are very unpredictable. Reliable warm weather will be here for both of us soon!

We are enjoying beautiful, although a bit windy, spring weather today, after a week of really chilly temps and lots of wind. Spring has arrived. I love that VW. So cute. I've never been to a cheering competition, although I have seen some on TV. I can imagine they do get noisy. I was a cheerleader for 4 years, but we never had to do the things they do today...all those acrobatics they do...wow. We just had to be loud and jump up and down a lot. LOL. I was good at that. LOL. I'm sorry you still have more snow coming, but hopefully it won't stay long this time. the ducks are beautiful!!!!

Happy Spring!
Safe travels over the weekend, enjoy the cheerleading tournament.

All the best Jan

Rita said...

Sounds like some fun things lined up! :)

Best luck to your granddaughter and her cheer team. I probably would have crossed out the word 'great' as well and substituted 'necessary'. I can't quite decide whether I need hearing aids or earplugs more (even on normally noisy days). Your community events sound fun and educational. A good combination.

The yellow car is cute. Hopefully you are having warmer weather now. It must be good to see the ice melting and the ducks dating. Have a good trip. Ha ha Patrick is funny.
