Everyone in our neck of the woods is longing for spring. Us too. Now don’t get me wrong, we love stoking the fire in our cast-iron stove at Hillsdale General Store and feeling its warmth, but these Hudson Valley-Berkshire winters do overstay their welcome, just a tad.
To nudge spring along, we rip open crates of new spring merchandise with the ravenous energy of an 8-year-old on Christmas morning. The garden tools, wooden bird houses, books, seeds and loads of other warm weather items remind us that indeed, spring IS coming. And until that glorious moment, we know it’s already arrived inside our little country emporium.
