| DVD of the Week |
|
This week's DVD of the Week is 'The Florida Project'.
Willem Defoe is a motel manager who cares about his long-term tenants, including a six-year-old, her friends, and her mother. As the children play, laugh, and observe the world around them, the adults struggle with serious and depressing real-world circumstances. The contrast is stark and believable. The acting, including that of the young girl Brooklynn Prince, is terrific.

Signs of Spring
One of the first signs of Spring, is not a sight but a sound. Cardinals are one of the first songbirds to announce the fact that Spring is here. Steve White, bird expert and owner of Wild Bird Depot, shared the fact that the male cardinal will fly to the top of the tallest tree and sing out his unmistakeable "Cheer, Cheer, Cheer" to establish his territory and attract a mate. Other Signs of Spring sounds to listen for are the drumming of woodpeckers and the cooing of Mourning doves.
