@archive.org has digitized so many local history books. Really great reading and I can search by any keyword, like a town or family name, if I am researching something specific.

I thought MA was going to fix that problem.

I think I know where that is!

3 turkeys in the middle of the road looking for food. There is grass on one side and brush on the other.

Several turkeys checking some bushes around an old tree. The ground is grass. There is the edge of a road on the left.

Our visitors earlier today were not very careful about crossing the street. Fortunately no one got hurt. #turkeys #November #WesternMassachusetts #photography

Sunset tonight #photography #westernMA

Earlier this morning

A long flatbed truck with several large crates of orange pumpkins traveling through an intersection. A sign on the right says "Mt. Sugarloaf Reservation" and has an arrow pointing right. Another sign says "Left lane must turn left".

It's fall in Western Massachusetts. I don't care what the calendar says.

Evening sky

Oh does that say "Fuji"? Nevermind. It's just the Soluna that I don't know. Maybe I will get over to Atkins next week. I have an errand to run in that direction sometime.

I was going to ask. I'm not familiar with the S or F? ones. Gingergold and Pink Lady are favorites in our house.

Pine Hill orchards in Colrain, MA starts pick your own this Saturday. Their professional pickers are already out in other parts of the orchard picking. Lots of good stuff in their farm store.

Good morning from my house. That maple tree is a gorgeous old thing. I'm surprised it's still standing. Meanwhile sunrise never gets old but I'm guessing it's going to be brilliant in the fall when the leaves change. #photography #WesternMA

Saw these on a Tesla today. I think if I owned one I'd sell it.

I'm not hearing anything. Guess I will keep my information to myself. More nature pictures it is. Seen on a Tesla -

Oh I feel you but I'm not known like you are. We've been there a couple of times and I love seeing the amazing things people have made. The social thing is hard though. I'd rather stay home and look at everyone's pictures.

Got to see a doe and 2 fawns this morning on our way to a tag sale.

I'm doing a personal research project that is focused on early US history. I'm thinking of posting bits here. Any interest? #USHistory

Baby turkeys crossing the road. #photography #WesternMA

I haven't posted in about a month. We got really busy here with selling our old house and taking a road trip vacation to visit my mother in-law. Here's today's wildlife. A family of turkeys crossing the road. Luckily no one came down the hill. #westernma #photography
