Mrs. Derby and I did some driving today. It's finally starting to feel like Spring around here, despite the snow cover from yesterday's storm.


Drove by the East Alton General Store. It's open!
The Merrymeeting Marsh/River at the Alton Circle is surprisingly open. Very wide areas of open water.
Back Bay in Wolfeboro is opening up quickly. Several fishing on the bridge and along wall to Mount dock.
On the Spaulding Turnpike from Portsmouth, many more out-of-state plates heading north than we've seen in a while (or at least those without ski racks!)
Driving in the rain, my car was actually cleaner when we got home than when we left!


Dare I hope for my favorite Spring indicator this weekend? Peepers!

Others?

Heard peepers last night in Durham! Always a welcome harbinger
