 > Hi  Noelle,

 > How are you?  I’m sorry I missed your presentation on
 > Cuba, perhaps I could get a version in person?

 > Roger is working as a “chauffeur”, for dogs!
 > He runs dogs between an upscale “dog camp” in
 > Chatham, to Brooklyn and Manhattan, picking up primarily pure-bred
 > dogs who are guaranteed a lovely stay in the country, while their
 > fur parents are in Italy, or the Bahamas, or Miami Beach .  .  .  I
 > will begin work as a Site Interpreter at Olana State Historic Park.
 > It’s a season gig, part-time, from May into November.

 > Spring is here and we are being surprised daily by what we see in
 > the garden.  We’ve trimmed back the plants and shrubs
 > (most I’ve looked up are native), and even attempted
 > pruning the roses, mowed, weeded, and watered, but we’re
 > leaving everything as is for the most part so we can see what comes
 > in.  We took out the pond in the back so we now have a nice piece
 > of grass, with ferns poking up!  We got a lecture from a neighbor
 > about how all the birds the previous owner provided seed for were
 > now in her yard and she had been buying 5-lb.  bags of birdseed to
 > keep them going through the winter.  We moved in in February.
 > Roger now has three bird feeders up.  I’m eyeing gaps in
 > the garden for more natives.
 > 
 > I hope you and Robert are enjoying spring!
