An Open Letter To The Best Sound In The Hudson Valley

Spring is on its way! There are only two more days until it's officially spring in the Hudson Valley. I've been counting down the days since November.

If you're like me, you found ways to keep the winter blues away. From meditation to reiki, yoga, red light therapy and exercise, I was on a mission to feel my best this winter season.

Also saying, "Brighter days ahead" kept the optimism flowing and now it feels like it paid off. Recently, I was traveling and came back to the East Coast.

As soon as I arrived back, I was excited about the sound that I heard. This noise is something that I haven't experienced in months.

Once I got back into the Hudson Valley, I heard the sound of spring peepers! You may have heard spring peepers when you're near a pond.

This frogs song brings the excitement of spring and all that it has to offer. The Farmers Almanac shared that these frogs are heard on spring nights and may be related to mating.

I've also heard the choir of birds happily singing and already saw the return of squirrels and worms.

5 Ways To Know It's Spring In The Hudson Valley

I always know that spring has started when I first hear the sound of spring peepers. This may also consist of flowers start to blossom, the greenery throughout mother nature and return of several wildlife critters.

Others may also agree and share their opinions too.

As we are different people, we notice things differently as well. While someone takes an interest in a woodpecker in the tree on a soothing morning, someone else may notice a lawnmower humming noise during their breakfast.

On WRRV, a Facebook post asked local residents to share their opinion.

The question stated:

"Tell me it’s spring in the Hudson Valley without telling me it’s spring in the Hudson Valley, GO!"

Hudson Valley residents were not shy when it came to answering this question. Let's take a look at ways we can notice that it's spring in the Hudson Valley from all age groups and different locations.
