Best spring day yet!

Almost white

We had a lovely day today in Vermont! Temperature topped 60F for the first time this spring.

Three Purple

Our crocuses (or croci 🤔) opened up again.

Tres Yellow

The yellow ones are back in addition to some purple ones.

Hopefully the daffodils can't be far behind.

Lady Bugs

Our afternoon walk takes use by a swamp and the wood frogs are croaking. Its always fun to hear them. They are so noisy and sound vaguely like a duck quacking so it sounds like a group of ducks going on. Wood frogs are the first frogs to call out in the spring in Vermont.

Rock border

We also took the first hike of the year up to Silver Lake. Silver Lake is about 800 feet higher than Lake Dunmore. The trail was clear (mostly) of ice but the lake was still iced over solid. I should be sharing a photo here but we were in a hurry to get back in time for a basketball game.

The Lake

Here's a shot of Lake Dunmore from this morning. Almost all the ice gone. There is a little on the left of this photo. Mostly the ice is just hanging out in some shady coves. The wind and chop broke up the ice on the larger open areas.

Sun is shinning bright here as well! During most of the day wearing only a tshirt is already feasible. Finally! 😁

I planted some plum trees last year. At least one will bloom for sure but not yet. We are supposed to get a warm stretch next week. I'm planted 2 peach trees this year. They are border line in Vermont. I'm counting on some help from climate change 😆

I think a new ice cap will form in Mexico and AZ and the north will become the desert with climate change. It was quite cool last week while in AZ when normally its usually hot already. My grandpa would cover his peach and pear trees fully with plastic and those thing were huge to avoid the desert frosts that would happen every now and then.
