High 44 - Sunny
As the geese fly diagonally across the sky and the world around me begins to freeze up, a candle is lit somewhere in my mind. I begin to search within for some way to express myself and put out into the world all the ideas that have been building up during the warmer months. Those were the months when the leaves burst out of their buds, swollen with snowmelt that diluted them to a bright baby green. And those were the months when I could sit by a swimming hole with my sister and watch the hay be mown in the nearby fields in towns like Conway and Sunderland and Montague. And those were the months when tomatoes (although less plentiful than last year) dominated my kitchen and my thoughts.
The aim of this blog is to document and describe the natural world of Western Massachusetts, specifically the Easthampton area. I hope you will enjoy watching the seasons change with me.
