Welcome, Spring!

LATE WINTER GIVES WAY TO NEW LIFE, WARM TEMPERATURES

by Sharon Rondeau

(Apr. 11, 2017) — After a cold March punctuated by ice and snow and a week of raw, damp and rainy weather, spring appears to have finally arrived.

The birds make their presence known by day and the peepers at night.

A cardinal arrived today, and a woodpecker was busy at its work in the unexpected 80-degree warmth.

Some unwelcome summer guests have returned in the form of bees, gnats and wasps.  Mosquitoes will soon follow.

Green is everywhere, and yellow and just a hint of purple.
