Spring in New Hampshire means lots of different things!
Here are my top ten things Spring in New Hampshire means to me!
1. Melting snow (hopefully)
2. Snow Storms (hopefully not - last year we had one on April 1st)
3. Crocuses trying to push up from under the snow
4. Frost Heaves (do you even know what those are? they make traveling on roads a bumpy adventure!)
5. Lots of MUD (we call it mud season)
6. Large mud puddles that switch back and forth from liquid to ice
7. Wild Turkeys crossing the road on a blind curve while your driving
8. Fishing season begins (hopefully the ice has melted by then)
9. Time to sweep up all the sand off the roads and driveways (it always amazes me how much there is)
10. The best for last ....it means that the grass will be green again, leaves will once again be on the trees and sunny days will soon be here!
That is what Spring is all about here in New Hampshire and I love each and every one (except for the late snowstorms)
Update: March 30th - Russell had a perfect New Hampshire Spring post on his Facebook page and it goes like this "...Its that lovely time of year in NH when the snowdrifts finally melt and you find all the crap on your lawn you forgot to put away..." That is the perfect ending to what Spring means in New Hampshire!
