 Life in the country has its rewards and its challenges. Since we use "have a heart" relocation techniques, why not snap a picture while saying goodbye?

Spring in Litchfield |
|
June 20, 2013 Fifteen seconds of the brilliant Intrnational Space Station rising along side the big dipper (in cool, clear skies last night). June 19, 2013 Poppies are a highlight of late spring. June 17, 2013 Brighter and warmer days. June 14, 2013 Rivers and ponds are swolen after days of cool and rainy weather. June 7, 2013 A moist day that's predicted to get wetter. June 5, 2013 With Jupiter gone, Mercury (fading) and Venus (brighter) remain in the west-northwest after sunset. May 28, 2013 Mercury, Venus and Jupiter just after sunset last night -- clockwise from the top. As well as dancing about each other night to night, this is a great aparition of Mercury. May 27, 2013 After a couple of rainy days, the sun sparkles on the rushing Shepaug River. May 14, 2013 Unusually cold weather brings a late frost. May 13, 2013 Cold air moves in with virga at sunset. May 12, 2013 Tulips at their best. May 10, 2013 The mist at sunset last night. May 3, 2013 Sunshine and flowers. More narcissi here. April 24, 2013 Sunrise on a milder day. April 17, 2013 A moist morning after last night's showers. April 16, 2013 Keep tabs on the Narcissus Plantings in Northfield. The whole season's bloom is still ahead. April 11, 2013 April showers, as the consistently-above-freezing temperatures bring our late, but excellent, maple sap run to an end. April 10, 2013 Unsettled weather brings a brief episode of mammatus clouds about two hours after sunrise. April 9, 2013 It's warm! A fine maple sap run continues and flowers are blooming. April 5, 2013 Though still below normal, noticably milder weather has encouraged a bit more growth. April 3, 2013 With a strong northwest flow and below-normal temperatures, lake-effect snow showers (from Lake Ontario) greeted us on this April morning. April 2, 2013 Despite the well-below freezing night, spring color arrives. April 1, 2013 After a mild weekend, lakes and ponds are all free of ice. March 30, 2013 All it takes is a patch of ground where the snow has melted. March 29, 2013 A brighter day. March 28, 2013 Snow flurries that didn't amount to anything. March 26, 2013 The melting has begun. But altitude makes a lot of difference, as these views at 900 feet above sea level, 700 feet, and 400 feet show. March 20, 2013 Even those of us that tapped late are finding the weather just too cold, despite the fact that Spring is here. March 20, 2013 Spring began this morning at 7:02 local Daylight time. March 19, 2013 Winter holds on, bringing another half foot of snow. March 18, 2013 High clouds warn of yet another approaching storm. March 14, 2013 A modest late-season snow this morning. March 13, 2013 Rain and snow melt re-freezes each morning — sometimes with rings and bubbles. March 8, 2013 A late winter nor-easter brings another significant snowfall. March 1, 2013 Morning moisture from continuing unsettled weather. Continue reading from the Winter in Litchfield archive >
