Spring is my favorite time of year up around Ipswich and Essex on the North Shore, and a May trip up there to fetch eggs from Hardy's Hatchery for our first grade chick hatching project revealed intense green fields and plenty of redbud and hawthorne trees in bloom -- and Woodman's Restaurant in Ipswich spiffing up for the season. If you're up during the hot season, Crane Beach is a hop and a skip away, but prepare for crowds and a jammed parking lot during peak hours.
