I am sorry to write this to my Texas friends but…it was so cold last night we closed the windows and did not use the fan. The temperature went down to 50. This afternoon we went for a walk at 3:30 with the high temp around 70. When we returned to our rig we found a pair of butterflies making a family. They were there for over 3 hours. When we checked after over 3 hours there was only one butterfly and it looks like her wing is damaged.
Our son Gene was over and we are talking about going to Boston on Saturday. We lived in the New England area but never went to Bunker Hill, Nathaniel Hall, etc.
We are thinking of catching the train so we don’t have to worry about parking.
The township of Becket, where we are staying, was settled in 1740 & incorporated in 1765. The 2000 census recorded 1755 people. A lot of the homes are vacation or second homes with people mostly from Ma. & Conn…Becket is in the Berkshire Mountains. We hiked a section of the Appalachian Trail the last time we were here 2 yrs ago.
On the down side my allergies have been kicking me.
