Carol and I have been doing as little as possible over this holiday weekend. We talked about driving somewhere, but driving is always a nightmare on Labor Day weekend. So, we’ve been sleeping late and doing some desultory housecleaning. And I took a couple of walks at nearby conservation areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, I went to Black Pond Bog, a Nature Conservancy property in Norwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, I took a long walk in Wompatuck State Park. The park covers about 3,500 acres, and you can spend all day walking its miles of trails. It’s mostly wooded, but there are also a number of ponds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Black Pond Bog and Wompatuck State Park both required a fifteen minute drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, neither Carol nor I felt like driving even that far. So we walked down Main Street from our apartment to Wheelwright Park, and from there into Wright Woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re extraordinarily lucky to live in a place where we don’t have to drive long distances to find something to see and do on Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
