Still Looking For Signs of Spring!

So far I guess the right word to use for this Spring season is RAW!
I did see a couple of dandelions in the yard but that's about it. We did have a 60 degree day and I figured it was a good time to try out my new power washer and clean the siding on the shed. It worked great but as I was almost done I hear what sounded like a flying lawn mower! I got a quick glimpse of a motorized para wing flying towards Good Harbor Beach and investigated. What I found were two gentlemen from Waltham and Woburn enjoying the light winds over the beach.

Hanging around!
 Fly by
 Flying in formation.
 Skimming the beach.

 Between the twin lights!
 Fishing boat and Boston.
 Three boats come in.
 A closer look.
