Why We Suffer 329 Days

Comin' up the final corner -

Yesterday, today and (forecasted) the next 3 days - weather that is quintessential. Perfect. Consummate. Splendid. 70 degrees - full sun - low humidity - bluebird skies - a luxuriant plethora of green hues everywhere you look - nature's masterpiece.

You could do almost ANYTHING outside in this weather and be happy throughout every layer - your core enriched and enlightened.  So climbing on a day like this only makes for a cruise through paradise.

This is why, here in Vermont (and other parts of Northern New England) we agree to suffer through 329 days of hard weather per year - because we might get 36 days like this. If we are lucky.

Carol, back on the rock, was grinning from ear-to-ear. (Who wouldn't?)  Soak it in. Soak it up. Breathe. Laugh. Move. It doesn't get any better than this.
