Harvard Square cemetery

A couple of weeks ago we were walking around Harvard Square, and came across this cemetery filled with old gravestones, some dating to the late 1600s. Most of them are in quite good shape, and are much more decorative than anything current.

Harvest time

On the day after Thanksgiving, we visited our kids in Western Massachusetts. We enjoyed another fine meal surrounded by evidence of the harvest: drying onions, peppers, corn, and radish pods. We took a walk and enjoyed the sunlight on the roadside weeds. We found decaying pumpkins in the woods and in the stream. We visited an abandoned mill site, and greeted the neighbor's cows before they headed in for the evening milking. It was a most enjoyable day.

On the farm

Our sons, their partners, and their house mates have taught themselves so much about the art of organic farming. Even their storage of the harvest is done artistically. And, they're terrific cooks!
