March 24th and the light holds past 7pm. I am ready for an easy spring, warm days, occasional rain, no more snow, floods or freezing cold. Except it is okay for cold weather in the mountains, at night and then warm during the day. I feel we deserve this because the economy has been so shitty and even if didn’t get the swine flue epedemic, bad economic time could easily spread like a variant of the flu.
The ice is out, not even the end of march and it is melted and swept down the river to elsewhere. However, being a Mainer, I can’t help thinking there is one more snow storm, let alone countless rain storms of epic proportions, just around the corner.
Sugarloaf got 5 inches this last snowstorm and they need cold weather to groom. We need a hard freeze that turns the sloppy snow into ice crystals that will grind and groom and then turn into corn snow on a warm day. I hope I get too busy with work and can only ski on the weekend, maybe one afternoon a week. Then I want meditation gardens to take off.

Where are these meditation gardens? This appears to be a labyrinth. ??
