Spring in the park.

Barb and I took a walk in Hubbard Park today, the first day of spring. There were frozen snow pellets falling as we made our way along the well packed path. The pellets made quite a noise in the trees, as if someone was throwing sand, but didn't last long. It's been so cold lately that the maple sap hasn't been running, so no good boiling up at Morse's this weekend. Perhaps next week. Of course, in a few weeks, when it does start to get warm, people will start complaining about how wet it is, then about how hot it is (buggy, too).
The Hubbard Park tower stood in stark contrast to the surrounding snow. When the ice thaws from its steps, perhaps I'll climb to the top.




If you read Lib's web log, you may recalll that she, Josh, Peter Gale and I went to Mad River a few weeks ago for a nice day of skiing. One nice part of the day was Josh giving Lib instructions on the finer aspects of skiing the bumps. She did quite well. It is worth noting that Josh did not even offer to teach me. I, alas, am well past learning how to ski the bumps. Posted by chuck at March 20, 2004 10:47 PM | TrackBack
