Two of our Favorite Places











Phylis visited us this last week. We had beautiful weather so we did what we like to do best--a little exploring. We hiked around a few new places and revisited two of our favorite places. Noanet Woodlands is one of our favorite places to hike. We walked up to Noanet Peak and had a great view of Boston on one side and the Foxborough stadium on the other.
Then we kept walking to the old mill site.

As you look down you can see the deep wheel pit. There used to be a 36 foot wheel that powered the mill here.











I can't count the number of times we have happily come back to this site. A little peace in our otherwise hectic life.











And now for our second favorite place. The Bradley Estate in Canton.

Here is the main house complete with formal gardens and a great view looking out from the house as well.




In addition to the formal gardens they have a rhododendron walk, a kitchen garden, a sunken greenhouse for citrus trees, and chickens.
If one of my kids decide they want their wedding reception here--I do believe I would gladly foot the bill. (Just don't quote me on that.) A lovely place.
