GMan, Koda and I took in a little fishing after work on Thursday. We went back to our old stomping grounds in Groton.

This is what you do when it snows 20″ in March!
Yup, it’s colder
Really…didn’t I say I wanted the number to get higher.
Yup, it’s cold
Just for clarity: The number on the right is what I want it to be!
Snowy Road
This is Ragged Mountain Road (Danbury NH) as we headed home yesterday. Certainly brings new meaning to “keep her between the uprights“. It was a long drive…but a safe one.
First snow
We got our first taste of winter yesterday. Bhí sé ag sneachta inné!
Forge Pond
Jess and I spent some time today at Forge Pond (Westford MA). The weather was beautiful for a little sand on you shoes time.
Below: Jess and I
The pond reminds me of hanging out at Lough Ree when I lived in Ireland.

More pumpkins
Jess and the boys went pumpkin picking at our usual place Pickard Farm in Littleton MA today.
I stayed at home recuperating and took a nap. Naps rock….

Jess and JMan all smiles.
According to Jess this years pumpkins were really big. Here’s GMan making off with his selection.
The owner challenged himself to pick up pumpkins with a log loader. Jess said he managed a few but other turned to mush.

Jimmy's fields, Clonown Road, Athlone
The bog road. If I had a dime for every time I headed up this road I'd be able to call home for a month or so.
View from our bog. For as long as I can remember this view has not changed one bit. A few new buildings in Athlone are visible but the topography is exactly as I remember it.
Bog crew.
GMan and JMan fixing up a few stucks of turf.
Saving turf is and will continue to be back breaking work…..but it smells so good when's it's burning!
Big plants.
BBQ at Seamus and Adeline house.

1. How many kids can you get into a trampoline. I suspect we tested the structural integrity of this one.
2. All the grandkids.
3. The whole gang.
Pollen Count
Windy today so the pollen count was up. Here’s a shot of my car.
This is looking out the windshield.
