Easter Sunday at Joe's Pond
This will be a brief report to let you know those hardy souls who went for sunrise services in our area this morning were greeted with a raw, cold morning of clouds and scattered snow flurries. My thermometer reads 37 degrees, and from my kitchen window I can see the whiteness of a snow squall coming down the ravine from Walden. There are a few snowflakes in the air, but none of it will stick to the ground. Well, we hope it won't, anyway.
Last night I had a nice note from Bryce Montgomery. Bryce and Esther are presently in Georgia where he said they are enjoying 90 degree weather with no humidity. They are on the ocean and he said they always have a breeze, so it is quite pleasant. The Montgomerys will be leaving for Vermont on May 11, so we'll be seeiing them here at the pond soon.
It's always nice to hear from our Joe's Pond friends about how they are doing away from the pond. Some of us who stay the winter here may read with envy of their warm weather and activities, but most of us who stay here all year enjoy the snow and the cold, it gives us bragging rights when it's 40 below and howling outside. We're just as uncomfortable as anyone else, but we can somehow turn even the weather into a contest - who had the coldest reading at their house - that sort of thing. It's like the Ice-Out Contest - it gives us something to talk about until all our "snowbird" friends come back north in the spring. --Happy spring, everyone!!
P.S. - No word on the ice having gone out. Soon, though.
