It's official, the ice is out on Highland Lake in Bridgton. High winds broke up the last remaining sheets of ice and whipped up whitecaps that looked more like ocean waters than a lake. Fishing season is just around the corner and there were even some brave rowers out on the lake yesterday morning when the waters were calm.
Flowers are blooming in the gardens and there's lots of planting and gardening to do in the next few weeks. The ducks and geese are returning and songbirds are chirping happily announcing the return of warm weather. I'm already dreaming of the warm summer days ahead and lazy afternoons on the beach.
