Ah yes, it's that time again.
April has arrived in Maine (and elsewhere, I'm told).
Just
this morning, while poking around out in the dooryard, I spied the
tender shoots of a lone tulip just breaking through the still thawing
earth. Perhaps the fact that it's growing directly beneath the dryer
vent accounts for its courage. Or perhaps its foolishness. Time, and
laundry, will tell.
Tulip notwithstanding, there are
still scattered patches of snow on the ground. Up here Down East we know
better than to start planting our gardens until early June. The threat
of frost hangs over us until then.
In any event, to welcome this new month I've put together a sweet
little collection of offerings by members of the
Etsy Maine Team.
We're logical, plain spoken folk up here ...
... always ready to taste something new ... ... and the tried and true.
We know how to celebrate, and we're already anticipating May!
We're romantics at heart ...
... so we expect the unexpected ...
... and always plan ahead.
We love to camp. Most days.
We know how to laugh ...
... and play well with others.
We welcome "Awayers" ...
... but enjoy our own company.
We're resourceful ...
... and happy!
Ayuh, my fellow Maine-ahs are an imaginative
and talented bunch, don't you think?
And that's no April Foolin'!
