The seasons seem to be having a bit of a battle as of late. All of these pictures were taken on the same day--ice fishing and sugaring. Yesterday my seed order came in--on the only real, snowy winter day we've had yet this year.
I know many people don't like March--they think it lasts too long and it's the only thing holding them back from true spring--but March has become one of my very favorite months. I love the mud and the syrup. I love the first warm breezes and the last bit of winter solitude before the rush of spring begins. Happy March!
ETA: After much deliberation I've decided to change the name of my blog from Little Apartment in a Village to Mountains & Maple...we no longer live in our little apartment and despite the many name ideas I've tossed around over the past few months, I think everything I do comes back to where I'm from--Vermont, the land of mountains and maple........now if I could just get that new header to stop looking pixelated I'd be all set! :)
We had really rotten weather here yesterday! Snow, ice, rain all in a 12 hour period. I'll be thankful when mud season is over. The dog likes to bring in muddy footprints! Have a great weekend! Love all your pictures today!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane! Our weather has been all over the place lately too, snow, hail, rain, sun...it can't make up its mind!
DeleteThese photos are sooo lovely :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Haley! :)
DeleteHi Erica! Thanks for stopping by my place. I love your photos. I'm going to focus mostly on flowers this year (zinnias, cosmos, and sunflowers), with a few common veggies thrown in. How about you?
ReplyDeleteThis is our first year with a vegetable garden of our own, so we're going whole hog, I hope will have enough room to plant all the seeds we bought. I'm also hoping to start a flower garden along our property line and along our fence (hollyhock, delphinuim, lupine, dahlias etc.). It's going to be a busy spring!
DeleteHi Erica....love the new name of your blog - seems very appropriate. As always, beautiful pictures - I so love reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Joanne, and thanks for the reassurance on the name change, I went back and forth so many times that I started to doubt myself, but I *think* it was the right fit. :)
