weekly wine walk | spring has sprung

spring has sprung... I happily got to partake in a much needed wine walk (sans wine) today when I got home from work. I am still in complete disbelief that it is only April 5th in Maine and it looks like mid-May. It is dumbfounding. I haven't seen a spring like this since I moved to Maine 16 years ago.
Comparing last year's growth of the garlic and the bloom of the forsythia and it is evident that we are a few weeks ahead this spring. I keep waiting to take full glee in this weather, but hesitate for fear that there is some surprise snowstorm waiting around the corner. Now that we are in April, the chances of that are slimming, but we're still not out of the woods quite yet.

Allison, I can remember a year in the mid-1980s when the trees were all leafed out by the end of April. I think that may happen again this year. I can't believe the maple trees have already bloomed and it's only the first week in April! -Jean
