The month has started in spring-mode.  There's been a fair amount of sun, a bit of rain, a moderate measure of wind, and temperatures have finally ascended to the historical "normal" range.  However, the only new growth that I've observed is that of weed plants.  Today, clouds encroached on a flawless sun-drenched day rendering the sky a light shade of gray.

I've been walking the beaches at Wells and Ogunquit as time and tides allow often finding seaglass on Wells Beach and actually picked up the first piece I've ever found at Ogunquit Beach having walked both beaches for longer than 10 years.  Today, I only walked to I walked to pick up the mail finding it comfortable to wear nothing heavier than my North Face liner over a long sleeved t-shirt. 

Too much time, today, has been spent at the computer.  Have had difficulty in locating this blog site that I created at the end of March, then lost.  I've also been researching web sites for contemporary praise and worship music with printable piano lead sheets and music books with a selection of songs that might be good for choir renditions and\or for the congregation to learn for use during our church's worship services.  I am a member of the choir and also a member of the Board of Deacons whose principle responsibility is to govern the type and form of worship services.  As Deacon Moderator, I will be leading a discussion on changes that our church faces as we search for and eventually call a new minister.  Fortunately, the current interim minister counsels us that if we stay as we are the chances of growth are limited and the church may simply age into oblivion as current members age and he has entered some out-of-the-box ideas for stimulating membership growth.
