Holy spectacular spring! Between the sweet sounds of the Sandhill Cranes returning, the spectacular views of the Northern Lights dancing, the pungent smell of mud and leaves decaying, and blades of grass, rhubarb bulbs, and the first flowers of the season bursting upward, the Betster is in sensory overload. Is the snow behind us? Who knows. Is summer catapulting towards us? Absolutely! When you need a break from ogling the skies and planning your garden, check out these Best Bets for fun, educational, and entertaining events and activities for the whole family.
If springing your clocks forward this past weekend wasn’t enough of a sign that spring is on its way, try driving out East End Road where spring melt run off by East Hill will have you running to the car wash or at least to the store to load up on more windshield washer fluid. And while there’s still plenty of snow out East for skiing and snowshoeing, in town trails are now a patchwork of brown and white. And, if you missed it as an insert in last week’s paper, the Shorebird Festival program is out! How many more signs of spring do you need?
