A Late Spring Brings Unexpected Benefits

This year, spring arrived 16-18 days later than usual. It was an especially long winter with heavy snowpack and a slow warm-up.

Typically, a late spring is seen as a hindrance to the economy. Crops are planted later, shortening the overall growing season.

However, there are benefits to a late spring. Postponed projects and maintenance issues can be addressed, and when spring finally arrives, we can sit in the sun and enjoy a good book.
