Back at Mom's

Here we are, back at Mom's, having some last fun with Tom, and doing ancestral things, and just having a wonderful visit.

Jeffery and I took the canoe out while the pond was glassy smooth and the evening was balmy

Here are some colors along the edge of the pond.

View of my Mom's house and neighbors in what was once called Mayflower Grove

There's my Mom and her super dear neighbor Russ gabbing in her back yard

Brother Tom and his buddies Steve and Ron came to share dinner with us after their day doing boy things

Mother and "Childs" clear up after supper
The stable barn is only one of many buildings and houses in this beautiful beautiful farm on our way to the visit the family plot in Acushnet

The entrance to the Acushnet Cemetary

Jeffery is spraying on the solution that helps break down and remove the lichen from the grave-stones in the Leonard plot

Here is Alice Ashley's stone before we clean it again

Here it is post-brushing

On our way over to the old section of the cemetary

On our way home we spotted this brightly colored cranberry bog full of floating berries

Back again soon to wind up the trip.
