Recuperation journey: Sunset reflection


Sunday's sunset reflected. 
Since there wasn't a colorful sunset view from my vantage point I looked to the East. 

I'm always looking for that perfect sky photo! Must keep trying.

Ansonia to hold Memorial Day Parade Sunday


Reminder: Fill public works trucks with food this week in Ansonia, Derby

Annual Food Drive being held during National Public Works Week 

The purpose is to collect food and household provisions for local food banks and raise awareness of Public Work Department operations; including highlighting the things that residents can do to “help” the DPW crews do their jobs (example: the things that create the most problems during plow operations). 

Food and goods donations are especially critical during the early summer months as schools get out.

This info is taken from a press release from the American Public Works Association.
