Spring Arrives (Finally)

The past two weeks have had a major change in the weather. In fact it reached 70 two days last week,  78 one day in Caribou!  As a result we have made a little progress into the new season. The fireplace is cool these days. Louise has found her shorter pants. The garden has been started.

The onions are planted in one of the beds, thanks to our next-door neighbor's generosity.

These lettuce plants look much better as they have been planted in a bed along with some herbs.
Among the spring traditions is checking out the camp. This time there was no snow and the ice was out.

Doesn't that lake look wonderful?

The camp survived the winter and is ready for a cleaning to prepare it for another season. We can't wait to get up there for a few days. The water is turned on and all we need is the time to do it.

On Friday the leaves started to pop out on the trees. We have seen pictures of fiddleheads, but haven't had any yet. It is wonderful to see spring! Here are the tulips outside our door:

And Louise has knit another sweater - one for herself this time. This is number 6 for the year!
