Where mules once pulled long boats laden with anthracite coal through the dredged and man-made Lehigh Canal.
Where young lads walked along the canal towpath guiding their mules as they pulled the boats downstream to an ever-growing market for fossil fuels in the cities.
Where now, with spring in our midst the towpath and canal are used daily for walking, biking, fishing, jogging or just sitting on a bench and watching the world stream by.
My impressions of spring along the old Lehigh Canal in Weissport, Pennsylvania.

I hope Spring is just as grand and nostalgic and joyful for all my dear readers wherever you are.
