Springtime in Harding
April 8th, 2010
Spring is a special time of the year, especially here in Morris County. You know for sure it’s spring with the abundance of blossoming forsythia, daffodils, crocus and myrtle. The forest is starting to green up as well with the first buds starting to show.
A right of passage denoting spring in Harding is the Annual Fishing Contest held this year on April 10, 2010 from 8am-12noon at Bayne Park Pond on Blue Mill Road. Children up to 13 years old are invited to participate and prizes will be awarded.
An increase in cyclists can make driving a little tricky, but the colorful display of the cyclists’ outfits and the energy and joy displayed is a sight to see.
There are so many parks and trails in Morris County worth exploring. For instance, the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, which is located in both the New Vernon section of Harding Township and Chatham Township, offers many wonderful paths to walk, educational events and many quiet spots to sit and take in Mother Nature.
If all this makes you hungry, don’t miss the return of the American Harvest restaurant located in Harding next to the post office. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch or take-out from 7am to 6pm Monday through Saturday and 7am to 12pm on Sundays. Specials are offered from the deli and Panini grill as well as, fresh vegetables, salads, burgers and a kids menu.
Well, until next time, get outside and enjoy the beauty of these towns this spring.
