Signs of Spring in Maine
Monday, March 27, 2006
In perhaps one more baby step towards being full-fledged "Mainahs" (a status we know we'll never actually achieve, except maybe Milo, having been born here), we welcomed the coming season Saturday night by eating out at The Lobster Shack restaurant, a picturesque little hut snuggled against the rocky coast. It closes for the winter, and last Saturday was its first day open for the new season. We also happened to eat there on its final day of last season. So we're starting to feel like real local regulars with all the insider information!Other signs of Spring in Maine we've noticed this or past years:
- A few weeks ago, James went ice-skating with a friend on a small neighborhood pond, and later the same day, spend time riding his new bike around the parking lot down the street, complete with winter coat and mittens. (Thanks to our rather dull snowless winter this year, which is probably thanks to global warming.)
- Every year, it's always a big deal when the little ice cream storefronts that dot the Maine landscape open for the season. You always feel that you've missed them, and need to celebrate by stopping in, no matter that it's still in the low 50s at the time. So you see these places doing a whopping business of people ordering their ice cream, then returning to their parked cars to eat it because it's really still too cold to eat it outside!
- And don't forget Maine Maple Sunday!
