Spring is arriving in Northern Connecticut! 🌱

After a long winter, our forests are beginning to wake up again. Soon the trails will be full of blooming wildflowers, birds returning from migration, and the quiet sounds of nature coming back to life. It’s the perfect time to step outside, explore a local trail, and experience the natural beauty of the world around you.

To A Snowdrop
Lone Flower, hemmed in with snows and white as they
But hardier far, once more I see thee bend
Thy forehead, as if fearful to offend,
Like an unbidden guest. Though day by day,
Storms, sallying from the mountain-tops, waylay
The rising sun, and on the plains descend;
Yet art thou welcome, welcome as a friend
Whose zeal outruns his promise! Blue-eyed May
Shall soon behold this border thickly set
With bright jonquils, their odours lavishing
On the soft west-wind and his frolic peers;
Nor will I then thy modest grace forget,
Chaste Snowdrop, venturous harbinger of Spring,
And pensive monitor of fleeting years!

William Wordsworth
