Yes, I know it is a really pretty picture. That is our mighty maple and this is the view as you come down the driveway toward our house. And this is what it looked like this morning looking to the left from here, towards our neighbor's:
Very lovely and picturesque also. But let's go back to the title of this post: SPRING! On Monday there was hardly a bit of snow around. It had been cold, but most of the snow was gone. Then Winter Storm Ukko blared into town, starting in the early morning hours Tuesday morning. It snowed most of the day and into the night, with a few breaks here and there. We probably ended up with about a foot of snow, which really isn't a huge problem around here. It was fairly warm, near 30° anyway, and most of what fell on the roads melted right away. But people are getting tired of the cold weather, and are ready for some warmer days. So it was pretty barren down on Church Street all day, with only 2 sales and 5 people who came in all day. No one felt like being out and about. Even today, we had bursts of more snow, but some periods of sun too. And we do have warmer weather coming in by the weekend. So this will probably melt quickly. And the nice thing about it is that it will give us another good run of sap, and lots more maple syrup. Yes, this is Vermont!
