Notes from the Heart...
Spring Ski & Stay Packages Packed
with Snow & Savings
It was so much fun taking our son
to our local ski area this weekend
and seeing kids snowboarding
and skiing in sweatshirts and even
t-shirts (in the 50+ degree weather).
I didn't venture out -- but I did sit
for an hour in the sun and actually got a sunburn on my face! Spring skiing has
arrived in northern New England! And here are some incredible March/April ski
& stay deals from Waterville Valley (New Hampshire) condominiums and
lodges...

Offered at the Black Bear Lodge and Golden Eagle Lodge in Waterville Valley
The $17 per person/night rate is based on quad occupancy in a one bedroom
condominium on March 16. Skiing on March 17 is $17. Of course, a Guinness
Party is also happening all day at Buckets on the mountain.
Spring It On Ski & Stay Family Package from $61
The weekends of March 26-28 and April 2-4, the spring savings at Watervile
Valley covers snowsports school, childcare and rentals too. From $61 per person,

This Week's Stories:
Feature: Hiking Along Robert Frost's Interpretive Trail in Vermont
The Robert Frost Interpretive Trail, along Route
125, is a one-mile loop near the mountain town of Ripton,
Vermont. Because Robert Frost spent a great deal of time
in the local woods, the trail boasts signs displaying some
of his poems. As hikers pause and reflect on his words
in the Green Mountain Wilderness, they connect his poetry
to the nature that was his inspiration....
Garden: Why Grow Vegetables?
If you already grow some vegetables, or buy fresh local ones, you know the much-

the reasons gardeners cite for growing their own vegetables include better health,
food safety, saving money, helping the environment, and having a better quality
of life.
Recipe: Maple Butter
