Spring in the Pioneer Valley and Hilltowns

Spring is here. I see bulbs sprouting, turkeys crossing the road, even a cow being led on a leash. Birds are chirping. Spring peepers are peeping away in every marsh. And there is lots of sun, even if the heat hasn't yet arrived. We even went kayaking on Lake Rohunta the other day. It was our first time on that lake and we can't wait to go again. The fisherman next to the boat launch ramp was very genial. Even the motorcycle riders are out, so look twice. Then there is the fact that the outside ice cream windows have re-opened again. Diet? Not with all the exercise we get from all the outdoor activities we can do with all this extra evening hours of daylight! So go ahead, stop by the 202 Grille on MA-202/MA-2, exit 16 in Orange and have that milkshake. You can work off the calories by hitting a few golf balls at the range or mini-golf course. Isn't this the greatest place to live? Who needs to go elsewhere for a vacation? We live in vacation central every day!
