Maple Madness • Trolling for Trout • Sweet Signs of Spring There you have it Naples, three wonderful local news topics that are guaranteed to please! Maple Syrup, Rainbow Trout and Spring emerging! This winter was full of cold and loss. I lost members of my own family and members of my community. Naples has had much grieving this winter with these many tragic and sudden losses. Yet, I saw members of this community rally around those that are grieving, those that are chronically ill, and those that are struggling. Dinners were provided, fundraisers rolled through the town, Facebook members agree to disagree, and Spring returns with the sweet smell of boiling sap, the DEC shocking of Naples Creek set for March 19th, Trout Derbies are on the horizon and the Naples St. J’s 5K is just up ahead. We can chose to linger in the cold and darkness or we can chose to lift our spirit up to the returning sun in celebration of Life, of changes, of growing wiser and of the beauty of the world around us. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t things that are going to tick us off, what it means is that we have a choice every day to sourly complain or to savor the sweetness of another day in this natural beauty we call home. Go for it. Fish. Go to a sugar shack. Enjoy the local music(Hello Dolly at NCS March 6-8). Relish in the melting snow and near balmy weather ahead of us(27-32!)Seek ways to heal, to stand up for what you believe in, and to be the best Spring Chicken you know how to be. Or not. But either way know that the sap will still flow, the trout will still swim upstream, and Spring will still emerge as life continues long after we are gone.
