Good Morning!
We're looking forward to a beautiful weekend here at Joe's Pond. Last night was a little chilly, in the 40's, but it's warming up fast and we're expecting high 70's or low 80's later.

Liz Randall sent me this photo from her Long Island garden. She is enjoying the butterflies and wanted to share with us. Thanks, Liz - it is beautiful. As usual, Liz's flowers are way ahead of ours here. My phlox is just starting to bloom.

We heard emergency vehicles going out earlier. I turned on the scanner and found out it was an accident on Rt. 2 near Point Comfort. Fred went down and got some pictures, but we don't know what happened or if anyone was hurt. The report on the scanner was "entrapment," and I just got word on the scanner that the person has been extricated and is being transported to the hospital. Apparently there was only one person in the car. There were lots of emergency personnel on hand, though. I think when there is a roll-over like this there is always a danger of fire, so it's important to get out of the car as quickly as possible. Ned and Carolyn Hamilton had a close call that way a few years ago.

It was pretty foggy when we first heard the sirens. The first photo is coming off West Shore Road onto Rt. 2. Next to the water it was very dense for a while. By the time Fred was coming back from West Danville, it had begun to clear a bit. Here is a slide show:
