Spring is finally sproinging around here, and it’s about time after the lousy, frigid, snowy winter we had!
Saturday brought a delicious visit to Pickity Place in Mason NH. I’ve blogged many times about this favorite lunch place of my sister, our best friend and me.
Lunch was good and tasty, but the dessert yesterday was OFF THE HOOK! Check this out:
That gorgeous thing is a vanilla flan with caramel sauce, raspberries and mandarin oranges.
Happy pansies and jonquils decorated the little cottage in the woods:
as well as the perennially sleepy Pickity Kitty:
Today brought sunshine and a high temperature around 60 degrees F! That in itself is a wonderful thing. The hike that we were rained out of last weekend was rescheduled for today. I have a friend with an interesting goal this year – to hike all 92 miles (the width of the state of Massachusetts not including the north shore and Cape Cod) of the MidState Trail. It runs from Douglas MA on the Rhode Island border to Ashburnham MA on the New Hampshire border. I said I’d like to join as often as possible, so we began our quest today! We did a little over 3 miles today, but that included looping back to the parking lot, so we still have around 90 miles to go. Next time we will strategize with parking cars and such so we can accomplish more of the route in one outing.
But for today, we enjoyed each others’ company and being out in the spring air. Our dogs enjoyed every puddle they tromped through and getting muddy!

A crossing trail, running through Rhode Island. Only 78 miles to the ocean! Let’s go!
One more group portrait, after our lunch break.
I’m looking forward to making my way up my home state throughout this spring, summer and fall – I hope we can find the time to complete the full trail.
Happy spring everyone! Is it finally feeling like spring where you are too?
P.S. WordPress has nicely informed me that today is my 4 year blogoversary! Still carrying on the “when I feel like it” way, 4 years later! 😉
