Verge

Pretty sure spring is about to show up. The true spring, that is. Sunday it snowed some. Yesterday it was just rain, but felt cold nonetheless, especially with the epic winds. Today was a nice balance: coolish, getting a little wintry after sundown. A subdued, restrained day, which I like.

This is a college town. When it gets truly warm we'll start seeing - and more crucially, hearing - the college party kids. It'll be an adjustment. Well, many things are.

It appears our weather patterns continue to be very similar and, yes, we're ready for some real spring weather too. Winter seems to have lasted extra long this year - maybe because March got so very cold after a mild February.

This too is a college town so we know what you mean. Still, most of them will be gone in a few weeks and the summer students tend to be quieter.

The worst summer noise we notice is that made by leaf blowers. Have people forgotten how a rake works?

Yes, it almost seems like February and March switched places this year. April is the month going out like a lamb, of course, but otherwise things seem to be back on their regular track.

Glad to hear that you get less noise from the summer students. It makes sense. Summer college classes are more compressed, so you have to buckle down a little more.

Yeah, you don't see many people using rakes these days. Just professional landscapers, which suggests that they actually are more thorough.
