With just a few short weeks during the spring off-season to catch our breath and let the peace and quiet calm our spirits, before Summer happens. It’s hard not to think back to this time last year, when the silence was altogether different.
Now, instead of huddling in our homes in a state of uncertainty, baking banana bread, scrubbing hands and groceries and being uneasy interacting with others, many of us are dreaming of travel… to a southern beach or overseas, or most poignantly, to visit family we haven’t seen in over a year… possibly meeting new grandchildren. Those of us sticking around are making
the best of these weird weather patterns. Convertible tops down one day, umbrellas up the next, while conceding that local farmers and our gardens need the generous rainfall. Best of all… COVID case counts are down and many of us are fully vaccinated and eager to welcome a more traditional summertime back to Lake Sunapee area.
