April Memories - now that she's hibernating

[ALF01]

An incredible experience leading to a wonderful, but too wet, summer

Great picture ALF01. It is unfortuante that some of you have to have your beauty hibernate for the winter. The only consolation was what one person told me, that when she first drives it in the spring, it almost feels like her very first drive in the car, except that it bring a warm feeling like she has gotten her old friend back.

I am a “half-n-half,” in that I typically have to typically part it for about a month of time in the Pacific Northwest, waiting for the second day of a rare combination, above 35 degrees and it being the second day in a row of non-rain (the first day needing the streets to dry, often be cleaned of deliberately applied sand/de-icer for traction for the slippery stuff). Typically get out about four times between the end of the driving season and the start of new driving time.

Thanks for the great picture!

February memories.

Just heard a local stat that PA had some form of precipitation on 40% of the days so far this year. Calling for rain again tomorrow and Friday. I'll take that over the white stuff though.

Hi John...the "Spring Break-out" is indeed one of the best days of the year...your friend is 100% correct!!!

ALF01 that is one great picture. Being in Texas I don't have to put her away so we enjoy her year round. And I know how we'd feel if we had to. Here's looking to APRIL.

Typical winter downtime here in Southern Vermont is Thanksgiving to end of Mud Season (I live on a gravel road), which is early April. Early April is a glorious time of year. Corvette comes out, Red Sox start their new season, and Spring birds return. Only downside, tax time. But mine is usually filed by then.

This year, we had 20 inches of snow in November, and the fall Corvette season suddenly ended, a lot too early.

I remember several distinctly different seasons in Vermont, including your aforementioned mud season. Lived there a short while. However, in my opinion, Vermont is the most beautiful mainland state. Great state!
