Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations. I was taken so much with Hingham because we lived there for 5 weeks and it was so CLEAN! Loved the manicured yards and over 1800 historic homes and some still in residence of 13 generations! That is something in this young country with so littl
It is easy to see why this a favorite park of so many.. Beautiful park with pretty little lake, the pool is clean and full and ready for the holiday weekend. Park is really full this weekend with guests and although we have not seen hide nor hair of any deer, we have seen a darling little frog; a colorful active turtle and there are a number of families of canadian geese. Besides they have a nice variety of birds including kingfisher! Love it! A bit muggy most days and we have had a few tornado watches and last night after being gone all day; made it home just in time for the tornado warning! Goodness, people don't take it seriously but I could see debris flying around so was a little worried. It is calm and gorgeous again this morning though with some debris (mostly leaves and small branches) laying about the park. This has got to be one of the prettiest parks in the system and well maintained at least as far as I can see. Since arriving we have been on the go, go, go and have done a little pickleball and table tennis but it's just too hot and muggy for much of that type of activity!
