Tom and I hiked from the shore of Lake Cochichewick to the summit of Osgood Hill where we took in the lovely view from a couple of Adirondack chairs.
En route, we met Lila, a recent transplant from New York City who was struggling to get her stroller from a blocked lower path to a higher one. We carried it uphill--minus young Victoria--through the brush. Chill Duke stayed on his leash unlike the bluetick coon hound we encountered later.
Look carefully and you can see all three after we sent them on their way through the Massachusetts savannah. Our chivalry counted as a local great adventure, worth texting about.
Can you believe the size of beech tree in Tom's and Audrey's driveway after a "gentle pruning?" It's almost as big as their house.
I stayed with them a couple of nights after attending their son-in-law's 40th birthday at a neighborhood bar in South Boston.
Forty seems so very long ago! See for yourself.
Dagny brought a soccer balloon on a string to the party. Uncle Jeff used it to teach her how to play tetherball with her cousin Wild. She's very competitive, just like her mom.
Dagny's artistic skills (and Della's too!) are really maturing. Their latest works hang in the North Andover Gallery of D-Girl Art.
Let's hope that unicorn (named Magda?) is drinking a mocktail!
