The Suffield Observer (https://thesuffieldobserver.com/category/farmingnature/)
These days a few of my friends and I are participating in the Suffield bird census. We are clutching our lengthy list of birds hoping to check as many off as possible as we peruse all the open space we have here in our town.
Nature came along in spring
And sowed angelic daisies
Along a vacant roadside
Competing with the beauty of
The big red barn upon the hill.
When we were kids, one of the highlights of any trip downtown was the possibility of stopping at the gas station on Mountain Road. While the service guy sauntered out to fill up the family station wagon, the four of us would have our heads out the windows taking deep, gasoline infused breaths as, believe it or not, we loved that gasoline aroma.
The Observer is sad to report that Brooks, the abandoned terrier adopted by a caring Enfield couple, passed away in May due to health complications.
