The tractor driver looks back to see that the spring hay crop in Elzear Roy’s field on Mountain Road is being properly baled. Earlier in the day, the crop had been raked into rows.
Memorization and recitation were kind of a thing back in the day. I recall having committed The Gettysburg Address to memory and The Lion and Albert, among other things.
In the first week of May, an explosion of tulips add a bright accent to the Suffield Academy campus.
In the afternoon of Thursday, May 14, long-time Suffield residents, Jeb Walton and Jenn DiGennaro watch a bear cub who decided to check out the trees in their backyard on Russell Avenue.
There are many things in nature that are fleeting: the monosyllabic call of the woodcock, the chorus of spring peepers, the big travel night for amphibians, shooting stars, fields bursting with fireflies, fluffy dandelions heads, and, of course, spring wildflowers.
