YESTERDAY
Our "January Thaw," if that's what it was, came to an abrupt halt yesterday afternoon just as I left to go on my afternoon "ride-around."
By the time I reached Stafford Avenue, heavy, wet snowflakes were falling but stonemason Ray Drake was washing the whitish mortar residue from the new construction at St. Bernard's.....
........... leaving the newly-cleaned brickwork the very same color as that of the church building.
It didn't take long for snow to accumulate on side streets in the Village ....
.............. and making homely burdock look like lovely bushes of pearls.

Mystery Solved!
A few years ago Denise Jaquays-Tarbox sent this picture to me asking if anyone could tell her what this crockery container could possibly be used for. No one knew.
But then, last evening, while I was watching an episode of the British production "The Duchess of Duke Street" (on Amazon video via ROKU) I saw this:
- and there it was. The very same thing!
Who would have guessed that it was hot water Bed or Foot Warmer!
