Pleasant Day With Rabbit!

The resident bunny continues to spend time here in the glade around the Lodge nibbling away. Generally we see him for dusk, but he was out having breakfast at dawn today as well.

Mass. DCR Trivia for today: Wild grape leaves, if picked when they are young, are just as edible as those bought in the supermarket.

The weather is terrible for brush fires, and Leominster is still putting out a 4 day fire to our north, but otherwise the weather is fabulous for hiking, and being outside generally.
