Why call it the 'unofficial start' of the summer?
Memorial Day weekend is the 'official' start of summer in the Lakes Region. The only day that may be more 'official' is the first Saturday after the kids get out of school because that's when some folks begin their longer vacations. (It certainly has nothing to do with June 21, which is strictly a meteorological issue.).
The good news is that we're ready this year - temperatures have been in the seventies and eighties, the windows open at night... And the bugs - ticks, mosquitoes, spiders, etc. - are in full bloom. (Sorry about that.)
"Well, it's finally here," she said as we drove home last night from a Memorial Day barbecue at our friends' house. "It really is the first day of summer. Look at the trees. They're all bright summer greens. The pale spring yellows are all gone... They just seemed to have faded away.
"Usually the lilacs are just coming out at this time. But this year, they're already gone," she sighed.
Now it's time to note some recent social changes in the Lakes Region.
Like the opening of a new AYCE pancake house called "Griddle in the Middle" on Rte. 3, halfway between Meredith and Weirs Beach. Reportedly, a slew of topping choices are available.
And the new Lakeside Famous Roast Beef, Pizza and Seafood in Laconia. It's a friendly, tasty place that's bound to grab its share of the area's 'summer food' market.
And an uncommon view recently seen in a gas station off Interstate 93 in Holderness.
A car, with its back seat filled with mounted animal heads: moose, bears, etc.
They were probably purchased at the auction held at The Balsams Resort in the White Mountains a few weeks back. The new owners of the historic property sold virtually everything in their buildings off at a public sale.
They may have no use for the mounted animal heads, but it's a sure bet that some antique dealer in Boston is going to find a profitable way to dispose of them.
You just don't see this stuff everywhere.
