Spring

I know that for most of the northern hemisphere it has been spring for some time now, but we are just getting the news up here in northern Vermont. The last few days have been beautiful, and green is sprouting everywhere.

Today is a big day. We are getting some tractor implements delivered, which I suspect will warrant its own blog entry if my phone conversation with the guy who currently has them is any indication. He sounds like a little bit of a nut, but not necessarily a bad nut. Also, our first order from the greenhouse supply people should be showing up as well.

I seeded some lettuce this morning, which means that the seedling schedule has transitioned from long term seedlings (tomatoes, peppers, onions) to short term stuff that can go in the ground in 3-4 weeks. Very exciting! After the long winters we have here, there really is something very liberating about spring.

Peter--Just in case you only look at today's comments...I put one under yesterday b/c I forgot what day it was!

Looks nice. We went to the Yankee game last night and, although they lost, it was a beautiful spring night in da Bronx!

My personal ranking of seasons (favorite to least) is fall, summer, winter and spring. But I do love it when it starts to really warm up in the Spring. Hopefully we are over that nasty winter. I could really see myself retiring to Miami. The weather is great and its a cool city.
