Nancy and Holly were up in the back fields this evening, just as the sun was dropping behind the far hill. While most of the fields were in shadow, there were still rays of sun hitting the far hillside, beyond the Hidden Lake, and lighting up the trees. It was too beautiful not to share!
The back fields are full of wild berries, apple trees, hornbeam (ironwood), wild sage. This evening there were seven deer up there as well, including one of this year's fawns, still small but no longer spotted.
During the winter, our cross country ski trails cut across these fields and drop down into the Hidden Lake, a black spruce bog that is not passable in the summertime without getting your feet very wet! The spruce bog is a haven for all sorts of animals -- and plants, such as sundew and pitcher plant, growing with the blueberries.
