#10 – a weekend in Massachusetts continues

a marketplace.

Continuing inland northwest of Lexington we stopped at this market. Plenty of flowers, plants and food.

An old building also caught my eyes, but we didn't stop to look at it more closely.

idyllic scenery.

I find sceneries like the above very interesting. The birds can still find a home and raise a family, despite the growing human activity in the area.

active farming.

Apparently not all that many active farms left in Massachusetts, but we found this one half an hour drive northwest of Lexington.

I guess one reason why we didn't see all that many farms, is that few have visible farm-activities and/or buildings near the main roads. Farms only need access to main roads, they don't have much use for them otherwise. Unfortunately neither I nor my traveling-companions had the local knowledge necessary to actively look around for farms in the countryside.

Took a few pictures around the Blood Farm in West Groton, MA. It was getting late, and everything looked calm and quiet. Only one heifer was sighted at the farm, and a couple of horses on the other side of the road.

This is where we ended our Sunday trip and headed back to the Boston area. After saying goodbye to David in Chelsea, Ron and I drove back to Pearl River, New York that same night.

It had been a fine weekend in Massachusetts, and we would come back to see David a few weeks later, as part of the planned RV tour around New England.
