Fun Things to Do, Home Tips, Local Events
Around Westport, Dartmouth, Fall River, MA and Tiverton, RI
I was hoping this weeks Blog would be declaring that Spring has truly Sprung but this week has lived up to April's reputation as cold and rainy.
Rather than wait for May's flowers, I'm embracing the time indoors to spruce up the house.
Here's a handy checklist that helped me knock out Some of my
Spring Cleaning in just an hour a day.
~~~TIP
As the dates become available, I will be announcing when there will be Free & low cost TV, recycle & computer drop offs in local towns.

Parsons Reserve 33 Horseneck Road, Dartmouth, MA I have been many times and it is well worth the visit
32 Acres of preserved walking paths. Streams and woodland paths.
Daffodil season has not yet begun. Last year 4/12/24 Daffodils were around 35-40% in bloom,
DNRT asks for a $5 donation if you are not a DNRT member, this property is not handicapped accessible, there is a 10 minute hike up a steep hill, dogs must be on leash and waste cleaned up, there are no restrooms at the field, no commercial photography or accessories, stay on marked trails, and please do not pick the flowers! The Reserve remains open year-round for hiking!
The blossoming daffodil field will reach peak bloom this April, I will keep you updated! Plan to see thousands of yellow flowers painting the forest a golden hue!
