Our winter of crazy weather is over and now we can enjoy spring, I hope, and look forward to those hot days of summer that people will complain about once they are here.
Just remember to enjoy each day for what it is; there may never be another like it.

Tonight Historic Cold Spring Village kicks off its third annual Spring Lecture Series with architectural historian Joan Berkey.
Her topic is “Lost Cape May County,” about the buildings that have been lost like hotels in Cape May, train stations and windmills.
She will also talk about the buildings that the village has saved.
The program will be held in the village’s newly renovated Welcome Center Museum.
Park in the Route 9 parking lot and enter the village from that gate.
This series is free and will also be held on March 29 and April 5 and 12.
Watch this space for more information on these programs.
The village is holding its sixth annual Feasting on History event May 2 at 6 p.m. at the NASW Aviation Museum.

You must buy tickets in advance. Call 898-2300 ext. 12 for tickets and more information.
This event benefits the village’s endowment fund and is sponsored by Sturdy Bank.

Have a good week, take a walk, and enjoy the spring flowers blooming and the warmer temperatures.
