One thing they don't tell you about New England is that it has an ugly season. This is the period, relatively brief, between when the snow melts in early March to when the spring really kicks in with new growth in May. During this period, all the trees are bare and all the grass is dead and brown, which makes things very ugly.
Vermonters call this "mud season." I prefer "ugly season" because there really isn't that much mud. At least not where I live. Perhaps in the country.
In any case, I am currently in the thralls of the ugly season. A land of evergreens keeps sounding better and better.
It is ugly season here too. Still winter in some ways but mostly ugly yes. I hear you.
