Another search for fall foliage
Today we returned to our old stompin' grounds in the Athol/Orange area. About a mile and a half north of Route 2A on Wheeler Avenue in Orange is the classic old Johnson Farm. www.johnsonsfarm.net. They have re-invented themselves as a restaurant and gift shop specializing in traditional fare, wonderful attitude and some atypical farm animals. They also make a lot of maple syrup. Below is a picture of a trailer with a pile of sap buckets waiting for spring.
The farm has a number of interesting animals; there is a sturdy donkey and an even sturdier ox.
One of the reasons for the trip was to have lunch with Linda Cain. Her husband, Bill, was the best man at our wedding 52 years ago. Bill passed last fall. After we left the restaurant, we stopped by the Quabbin Nursing Home to visit Hilda Hastings, a close friend of Durelle's parents, who will be 100 in March.

We also swung by 15 Tamarack Court in Milford to take a picture of the place we lived while our house was being built on the Nashua River from '89 to '90.
Tomorrow we'll meet Tim and Wendy Boucher for supper at the Mile Away restaurant in Milfiord.

great shots, Dad. I have fond memories for the brief time spent at Tamarack Ct. Looks darker colored than I remember and the lawn doesn't look as nice as you kept it.
I had the same reaction, doesn't look near as well kept as when you were there. However the strongest memory I have I wouldn't call fond.... It was Mother's Day 1989 and Dave went running to the front door to bring flowers to Mom and Grandma that he picked outside. In his haste, he tripped over one of the concrete steps and hit the next one with his forehead....
