13 Things Every Mainer Routinely Does At The First Sign Of Spring
There’s a lot less snow on the ground than there was a few months ago and every so often it feels as though a warm breeze MIGHT just blow through the air. While we might not be there yet, spring might actually be heading our way! In addition to the warm days thrown in between the cold ones, there are other signs of spring. The most obvious? Mainers are starting to display the tell-tale signs that they’re ready for winter to end. Here are just some of the often strange things Mainers do at the first sign of Spring!
The temp crept above 50? Tan time!
We went an entire, dark, long, cold winter without any lobster rolls. It's time to see the light again.
We've been cooped up long enough! Let that breeze (even if it's freezing) blow freely!
When winter ends, the traffic problems are only just beginning. It takes work to repair the havoc that mother nature can wreak in just a few months in Maine.
The ground might be hard, but it's never too early!
There's still some out there and now that we know it's going away, we start appreciating it! At least until next winter.
While there are zero regrets here, there's a slow realization that we'll need to hit a few extra trails this spring to get back to optimal health.
At the first signs of green, we never leave the house without those tiny abominations in mind. Be prepared folks! Especially in early spring when the nymphs are out. They're smaller than a poppy seed and easily missed by the naked eye.
It might not be time just yet, but soon enough! Just have to get through days like this!
They might have meant some cabin fever and the need for imaginatively thinking up new activities, but awww... the kids were cute those days.
Bet you completely forgot about some of this stuff!
There's no avoiding it. With spring comes the mud and with that mud comes the need for plenty of boots.
She really is a beaut in the spring!
