Ice out

My co-worker, Chris R, and I drove up to Indian Island today - north of Bangor - to do a presentation to a group of Penobscots. Wonderful group, very interested and interesting, with great comments and questions. I hope they will stay in touch and come to the Legislature sometime to address some of our common ground issues. Afterwards we stopped by to visit Rose, an fascinating 70 year old woman who runs a food bank on the island.

When I got home I noticed the last of the ice on Long Pond had gone out. It had been sunny and in the 50s and the sun was glimmering off the lake. Finally, it feels like spring!!!

It's supposed to be in the mid 60s on Friday so Rick and I are planning to kayak.
