We went to St. Johnsbury for groceries and haircuts this morning. It was like spring everywhere we went. As we drove out of our driveway, it was like a heavy rain shower when we passed under the branches of one of the big spruces next to the driveway. All the way down West Shore Road we were in and out of "showers" and I had to turn on the wipers. Everywhere we went in town there was lots of water in the streets from all the ice melting.
We heard this week about some fellow in Maine that had tapped some maples and was getting a good run of sap. He said he was actually making some very good quality syrup. This morning when I was outside checking my rain gauge I could hear some crows in the distance making quite a racket. They probably have a roosting spot nearby and were excited to have awakened to sunshine after so many dreary days. Just guessing!
We took pictures as we were rolling down West Shore Road. It was really pretty. By the time we got back about 3 hours later, the ice had almost all melted
