Those bright red-orange signs have begun to appear - the first harbinger of spring![Image added later] It occurs to me that those people from away* probably don't know what a Frost Heave sign looks like.
* from away (adverb)
If you can't claim that at least three generations of your ancestors lived here (or if your ancestors are from here, but you've moved away and then returned) then you're from away. If you've moved here (even if from the next community) then you're from away. A regional joke states that, like children born locally to parents from away, "Hatchin' chickens in the stove doesn't make 'em muffins, does it!"
