Jon Crispin's Notebook

Thanks to all of you who have sent condolences following the Pearl’s death.  Hearing from you has meant a great deal to me.  It is a week since the she died and we still haven’t come to terms with it.  But we really are trying to move on, while keeping her lovely spirit in our hearts. / The recent weather here has been beautiful, and on Sunday Cris and I had a great long bike ride through Amherst and Hadley.  This shot was taken less than a mile from the busy Route 9 corridor facing the Holyoke Range.  Moodybridge has always been one of my favorite roads in the valley.
