There are four harbingers of Spring/Summer in the Lakes Region this time of year:

1. The Mount takes its shakedown cruise
2. The hummingbirds come back
3. The Weir's sign is turned on
4. I get my first of many black fly bites

Based on my experience last night while raking, the black flies are back in full force on Rt. 11A.

But hey -- they're a small price to pay for summer. ;-)
