Home Sweet Home

I am so happy to finally be back in Maine! Even though it was fun to catch up with family and friends and get some long-awaited sunshine, I definitely confirmed that making the big move to New England was the right decision for me.

To make my trip

it took me three days of travel just to get home!

Between flying standby, and nationwide crazy weather, I spent Wednesday night in Chicago, Thursday night in Philadelphia, and Friday afternoon I miraculously made it onto an overbooked flight into Bangor, Maine.

From the sky I could see there was already green grass on the ground and buds on the trees. Only my beloved Mount Katahdin was still covered in snow. I am sad to have missed out on a lot of the transition into spring. Where have I been for the past month?

sap's runnin!

     Friday morning I thought the thermometer was broken when it said -12 degrees, but then it climbed faithfully up over 40 by the afternoon.

     "Warm days and cold nights - you know what that means Rose," Ned asked me.

     "Sap's runnin?"

     "Baad."

     I just can't seem to get enough of that sweet Vermont accent!
