Spring is here at The Hill
It’s hard to explain to people what makes Upstate New York so different than other places. When you’re here…you just feel it. There’s a peacefulness to it, yet it is alive and full, pulsing with life…but in a good way.
Spring is a time of renewal, life coming forth and new beginnings. The buds are bursting forth on the red maples making the hillside look like a mini fall. Rolling meadows are bright spring green against the backdrop of the mountainside that changes color going from brown to green.
Just before sundown here at The Hill, our wildlife begin celebrating & sharing with one another what a glorious day they had. We hear the joy in their various sounds. We sit and listen as the Tom’s gobble for a new mate, the chickadees and phoebes sing their songs, the peepers begin to chorus in as night falls, the owls hoot in agreement… and then there are those amazing stars. If you live in or near a big city and you’ve never seen the night sky without light pollution then you’ll be in for the treat of a lifetime. On a clear night, the Milky Way is so brilliant it looks close enough to touch. Shooting stars are usually visible every night.
It’s not really easy to explain why it’s so different up here…suffice it to say it’s just something your Soul remembers once you are here!
