The day was cold but the skies clear. Dixie and I set off at 6:30 am to drive to the Middlesex Fells for a brisk three-mile hike on part of the Rock circuit trail.

Last week we saw a fox (which was fun for Dixie to run after but worrisome for me.)  Today it was just the beauty of the sunrise and the woods themselves and the joy of a rocky up-and-down trail with occasional views of the awakening day.

What a way to start my workday!

Can’t wait until we move into our new building and are just one mile from the amazing 2,200-acre reservation!
