The weather has really warmed up over the past few weeks and there are now lots of flowers popping up through the soil. All the snow has finally melted and made its way back into lake Champlain. Many of the trees now have leaves and budding. My paper birch has now sprouted leaves. I might have missed when it was budding because the branches are so far away, or the budding happened very suddenly in the two weeks since my last visit when there was a lot of rain and warm weather. The weather was particularly beautiful this day as it was the first sunny day after a few days of rain. The wonderful spring weather and close proximity to easter just made the trip even more refreshing. I’m sad that there is only one more visit to rock point because it has been such a place of comfort for me over the semester. I will definitely continue to visit rock point regularly for the rest of my time at UVM.
