You know spring is in Maine when the canoes are everywhere on top of pickups and paddlers enjoy swollen rivers in yearly races.  Little league tryouts are over, teams begin to play this week in Houlton Maine. And fiddleheads are another part of Maine culture.  A fiddlehead is the early stage of an ostrich fern.  A delicacy to many, an unknown to most.  The plant that looks like the head of a fiddle grows in wet, moise areas along Maine waterways as a rule.  Learn everything you wanted to know about fiddleheads.  Fun to clean, steamed and with a little vinegar … (12 comments)

spring: Maine Weather Improves, Locals Out Working In Yards, Taking Walks! - 04/19/08 09:48 AM
     Weather is a drug...a good elixir for whatever ails you.  Maine had an old fashioned winter with record snowfall like many northern states.  So as the sunshines, snow melts, locals are venturing out to rake lawns, walk at dusk, and to just be glad to be outside full time as season's change. Maine canoe races underway with plenty of water for spring paddling in canoes and kayaks.  Plans for opening summer homes, taking school vacations with kids, building decks, washing down home exteriors, and general busy bee industry is evident thru out Maine.  In Houlton, the local dairy bar just … (2 comments)

spring: Meduxnekeag River Canoe Race in Houlton Maine Started By Ricker College! - 04/08/08 10:00 PM
The first week of May, the annual Meduxnekeag River Canoe Race with lots of water volume this year will happen in Houlton Maine. Heavier than normal snows mean no shortage of water for the race in Aroostook County. Paddlers from around New England and Atlantic Canada take canoes, kayaks, boats and rafts down the the river named by local Maliseet Indians. "Meduxnekeag" means rocks at its mouth.  Past race Chairman Peter Blood told me today that in the beginng he wondered why there were a number coolers with lively party canoers celebrating spring. He felt the tradition may have been because … (1 comments)

spring: Maine Maple Syrup Shack Open House Happens In March! - 03/15/08 10:14 AM
    Always the fourth Sunday in March, open house for Maine's Maple Syrup Producers is a rite of Spring in the Pine Tree State.     As a kid, my Dad owned an 80 acre woodlot in Ludlow and we tramped up to hang the buckets on the spout taps on a variety of maple trees.  The woodlot was in the family primarily for a wood burning source of heat since the 1920's. Also had large maples on the farm driveways too that we tapped each late winter / early spring.  A lot of work to boil down the sap for the finished … (8 comments)

spring: Okay...Relax (Taking deep breath) Look At This Shape..What Do You See? - 04/04/07 12:06 PM

Nooo..its not a bird...or a continent..it is a regulation, honest to goodness home made Maine Pothole...live and in color..what the state prefers to call a "Pavement Deficiency".   With frost coming out of the ground, with rain water pounding the pavement, this happens in the weakest places.  Like fiddleheads, potholes may be unique to cold weather states that realtors pound the pavement in.  Some of them are bottom less. Whole front ends can shutter if you are a little distracted and get sucked into one...BOOM..."What was that noise...did we get just get hit with a scud missle?"  Now if you run a tire … (0 comments)
