Renewal

After watching for a week, I saw my first scout (herring) tonight at a Falmouth run. Just one, but it means a lot. Winter is done. He made it, I made it, we made it. Feels good.

George did you tell that scout to go back and tell his friends its safe to come?? Bring lots of friends with them???

I have been dancing in my back yard for a few days now that the piles of snow are gone! I have been feeling like a caged animal for 2 months now not being able to move!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

There were a handful of herring in the Wareham run this morning.

Forget the April Fool's storm--back in the late 70s, in Pawtucket, we had 5" of snow the second week of May.

I don't remember if it was 91 or 92 but it snowed a few inches at about the same time in May.It was freakish because the day started out in the 50s and by late afternoon it was snowing.

April 1, 1997 24" of snow in Boston, came down at 3" per hour for a two hour period. March 30th the temp was 65 degrees.


It ain't over yet.

We have skunks, monks and hawks, and the foxes appear to be feeding the cubs in CT. Probably have fish somewhere in swollen rivers, but they are way high. Have to wait em out a bit.

Just about to cite that storm; I remembered several RI school systems cancelled classes on that day in May.

Yup, I think that was the one I mentioned earlier. I think it was in 1977.

I'm not sure if it was the same year, but I recall a Patriots' Day in the 1970s when they ran the Boston Marathon in 95 degree weather.
