Locals: ‘Wake Up and Smell the Coffee’

This is the season we have been waiting for. After months of arctic deep freeze, snow shoveling and window scraping, we have emerged from winter’s tunnel into the bright light of summer. Yes, it’s summertime in Otsego County and we can all take the time to breathe, relax, and enjoy.

Fresh off the Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial kickoff of summer, the breezes are warm, the trees are in full foliage, and the smell of freshly-mown lawns enters through our open windows. These days are the reason we chose to move back to Otsego County. Of all the places our family has lived, this area was by far our favorite. We are all blessed to live here, in nature’s beauty. We have clean waterways, gorgeous lakes, rolling hills full of wildlife and breathtaking valleys that stretch deep into the distance. What’s not to like, right?

Well, it may depend on who you ask.
