==================================================
Long Lots Elementary School students love to read. And they love sharing books with others.
The other day, as part of a “Reading Across America” project, students and staff brought in 1,200 new and gently used K-5 children’s books. Bridgeport’s Lighthouse Program will donate them throughout the city. Westport and Bridgeport Police officers, and Connecticut State Police, helped with collection and distribution.
Way to go, Long Lots Lions! (Hat tip: Ned Batlin)

Sure, you lost an hour of sleep last night. But look what this late winter day has given us:

And finally … On this day in 1794, Connecticut’s own Eli Whitney received a patent for the cotton gin.
The field of crocuses is lovely. I guess they don’t get many deer on Riverside Avenue.
