I took a trip down Route 95 yesterday to visit our daughter in Lisbon, Maine, about a hundred miles from my home. Our granddaughter is staying with her for the week of school vacation and it was a bonus to be able to visit with both of them. It was a beautiful sunny, warm day that makes one think that spring can’t be too far away.

Lisbon is a small community that is centrally located between  the  Lewiston/Auburn area and the Topsham/Brunswick area.

As I traveled south on 95, I kept a close watch on all of the many osprey nests that are built on the utility poles along the way. I knew it was still winter and that I wouldn’t see any,  but sighting one is a sure sign that spring is here, so I kept looking and hoping.

We had an enjoyable  “girls” afternoon out. We did a little shopping and then had a late lunch at Taco Bell (a favorite with the granddaughter but not necessarily with her Aunt or Grammy ).  Returning to daughter’s home, I gave the video game a try and failed miserably. My reflexes aren’t quite what they used to be. Granddaughter, however, has great reflexes and plays the game with ease!

Then it was back home for me. As I passed through the corn and potato fields between Corinna and Corinth, the sun setting behind me  turned everything to an orangey-red glow.  It was a wonderful way to spend a winter day that had just a touch of spring in the air.  Thanks Kendra and Tracey for making this day even more special.
