Winter 2020

February 24, 2020

It is a beautiful, sunny winter weekend.  Josh and I are training for hiking in Scotland,  so we hiked into town on the Moors and back home- 15 miles,  on Saturday.  We did a figure eight loop around Norwood Farm and Stump Pond on Sunday.  I  hiked the beach on Friday and Monday.  Enjoyed our Birding Group on Sunday.   All good except that the Sankaty Head Lighthouse is not rotating.  Despite the amazing stars:  Big Dipper on its handle and Orion in the South,  we miss the Lighthouse's rotating light.
