Another nice weekend and more coming for the week. Saturday was 7 degrees early, then warmed up; Sunday was 11 degrees early and only warmed up to 40 during the day and the wind had a little “bite” to it; not as warm as last weekend, but getting there. Can you believe it’s supposed to hit 60+ by Wednesday. I’ll take it. We’ve seen flocks of geese flying North, so that’s a good sign, right? Mike McDonald family has seen robins twice so that’s another good sign, right? Let’s hope so.
FLASH: Don’t forget that Sunday is SPRING ahead for your clocks. Make sure you remember to do that so you won’t be late wherever you might have to go.
Tony and Patti Sneidar, Philly, spent a few days at their home on Church Street and enjoyed the nice weather.
St. Vladimir’s Church has pierogies for sale. To order, call 570-928-1099.

Gee, before long we will be celebrating the Easter holiday. Time seems to keep rolling along; hardly seems like the month of March will be over so soon.
HINT: “Vinegar is a great way to keep frost from forming on your car windows. Spray the outside of your windows with a mixture of three parts white vinegar to 1 part water.” (We still have some frosty days, so will have to try this and see if it does work.)
I know there are probably some other things going on around the County, so check the Sully to see what you might be interested in. Was too bad that the winter didn’t allow for the Eagles Mere toboggan slide this year. That is a major fund raiser for them, but Mother Nature didn’t cooperate.
From Mr. Neubauer’s little brown book: March 6, 1974 – cool and 20 degrees. Not bad; ours was a little better.
