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 ...
