And now for maybe the most exciting sign that warmer weather is getting close...legendary Maine ice cream stands are opening for the season! I have fond memories of driving my El Camino to the Gifford's in Waterville when I was a teenager in the 80s...absolutely a Rite of Spring here in Maine.

How 'bout this really sweet tweet from Gifford's Ice Cream? Not only did we get the glorious announcement that all 5 locations are turning the "Closed for the Season" sign around this Friday, they are offering something all Mainers love. FREE ice cream cones!
