THE ROBINS ARE A COMIN"
The robins have been here all summer, but I never saw them gather at the bird-bath before. There must have been a dozen taking turns bathing. I'm guessing they will be on their way South very soon.

SUPPER AT MEGAN & PAT'S
Megan and Pat are great cooks. We had supper with them at their house last night. A lot of work went into preparing that meal, and we all enjoyed it.

The Berkshires
We enjoyed hiking around when we got a break from sightseeing. We went to the new Norman Rockwell Museum (nice but not as charming as the old one), Botanical Gardens, the Red Lion Inn, and a few other places that kicked us out for our low-class appearance. Apparently, New England has a snobby reputation for a reason! For cultural entertainment, we got tickets to see Twelfth Night at a theater in Lenox. It was the best Shakespeare production I've ever seen. You should get up there for a show.
Salisbury, CT
I had no idea that Connecticut still had remote areas. We discovered one on our trip through New England. A friend from Atlanta (who grew up in Mass) invited us to use his "camp" on a little lake in Salisbury, CT. We drove the clumsy RV 3 miles into the woods on a one-lane dirt road. It was dark and I was skeptical. But, when we got there, we found that the camp was really a lovely little cottage right on a lake (forgot the name). As you can see, there is almost no development and absolutely no motorized vehicles on this lake. The camp/cottage is powered by propane gas for cooking and lighting, so there's no electricity. It's not as mountainous as Maine or New Hampshire, but it's a LOT closer and very peaceful. Maybe we should look for a similar property as a family investment?
