 "The March wind roars
Like a lion in the sky,
And makes us shiver
As he passes by.
When winds are soft,
And the days are warm and clear,
Just like a gentle lamb,
Then spring is here."

"Mark Amenta"

 

 

Congratulations and thanks to Mark Amenta of E. 13th St. for the wonderful facelift he has given his home, and for his investment in the neighborhood.   Mark had a great home before but recently undertook an extensive home improvement project with the help of Tom VanDyke, a designer at Over the Moon Designs.  The work is almost complete.  The white trim in this picture will be painted to match the other trim when the weather is better.  Talk about curb appeal!
