Spring in Newcastle, Maine?!

Even though this winter hasn't been that challenging, as winters go, last week I decided that I was done with winter, so I put away the remaining winter/snowman themed decorations and pulled out the brighter and lighter spring decor. I decided to do this on the day that the weatherman predicted snow! Yes, there were some little snow flurries that day, but I persisted.

Later in the week a huge storm moved through the area and the rain fell and the wind blew and blew. The last of the snow piles are now history and today when I was out in the yard picking up fallen branches I noticed that there were little tiny green spikes poking out of the ground! The Snowdrops, some Tulips, and lots and lots of Narcissus have also decided that winter is over and it is time for spring!

Springtime in Maine is beautiful and it is surprising to me that more people don't visit then to experience it for themselves. The Hospitality for Habitat Special starts in another month and offers guests a great discount, an opportunity to support a worthwhile cause and a chance to visit Maine in the springtime!
