You know its Spring in Vermont when...


There's a new parasol on the deck for eating outside.


The garden has new raised beds that are almost ready for planting. The traditional "plant your garden" day here is May 31st and not having any cold-frames (yet) we stick with that.


The last bit of ice and snow on the pathway to the front door will be gone within 24 hours. (We hope.)


The weather's been nice enough to build a new gate for the garden.



The dogs seem to be tired and wet all of the time from swimming in the pond and the river.


But most importantly, you know it's Spring when yards start to fill up with firewood. It's very important to get your wood early enough so that it has time to dry before heating season starts. There's really no time to lose either. After all, Winter's just around the corner.

We'll come up as soon as that last patch of snow has disappeared. Let us know.
