I could not help but feel relief and a spark of hope as we turned our sights to what lies ahead.
This is the in-between time of year when it comes to dirt roads.
With the arrival of slightly warmer daytime temperatures and a bit of rain, the snow that covered the ground for the last week has disappeared.
A few years ago, right about in the middle of the same month that we are in now, I was standing on the wharf looking out at the harbor.
With the cold snap last week, we all waited patiently, hoping a few nights of very low temperatures would finally freeze Brine’s Pond.
There has always been a conflict between preserving the values of the past and implementing our perceptions of the future.
