We had a wee blizzard this morning and a snow day was granted to all. Here we are shoveling.

This is not today, but it is snow.
Road trip for Men of the Meadow!
Today we chose with no research in advance to invite Sarah Frances, Lesley Q, Tien, and Kien to join us at the little known Trustees of Reservations property “Bear’s Den.”

The Den was snow-clad and pristine. And we in sneakers. Trail markings were obscured by snow, and it rained. But we persevered.
The Den per local lore is where Indian King Philip planned a 1675 attack on English settlements. It’s also where mills and sluices fed our nation’s industry and somebody shot a bear (hence the name).
The Trustees of Reservations is a nice sort of Massachusetts-focused Nature Consevancy with a variety of properties open to the public.
