Delaware Views In The News

On occasion I have the pleasure of adding to my favorite links list new places where my work is published.  I am now pleased  to include the Bucks County Herald to the list.  I made the last page in the last issue.  That makes me giggle.  The funny thing is that I picked up the paper and looked through the whole thing and missed it on the last page.  Dan the proprietor of Seasons Garden Center, also a favorite link, had to tell me and thank me after seeing it.  That's Dan's sister up in the bucket raising the holiday lights on the Washington Crossing Park Tree. 

Reliving History on a Christmas Day

The Crowds Gathered

 

the military marched.

 

The oarsman prepared the boats to be launched.

 

Against the current they rowed.

 

When they reached the other side a spontaneous cheer rose from the crowd.

 

 

The Delaware River is Mighty Low

If the Delaware River was as low as it is right now, all those many years ago George Washington and his soldiers would have had one heck of a time crossing and probably would have had to bear the frigid cold without Wellies.  That water is low and talk about town is that the boats will not go across Christmas Day.

Time will tell but we would surely need a bit of rain.  Luckily, if they really want to march they can take advantage of this century and walk across the bridge. 

 

At the park Dan and his crew from Seasons Garden Center, were outfitting the tree with a new set of lights for the Annual Kiwanis Club of Yardley lighting.

 

The Boat Barn was open and had on display a small copy of the famous painting of the

Crossing, 

 inviting me in so you can see.

Blue Birds Might Be Here To Stay

Went back to the Washington Crossing Park for an early morning bird walk.

I think the Blue Birds are here to stay...

unless of course they fly away....
