“So was I once myself a swinger of birches. And

“So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be.
It's when I'm weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood
Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
Broken across it, and one eye is weeping
From a twig's having lashed across it open.
I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.” - Robert Frost

Still going through photos from our quick trip to

Still going through photos from our quick trip to Bennington, VT. In 2 days we: • Hiked the Lye Brook Wilderness to the falls, more of a challenge than we bargained for but well worth the view! 🥵 • Walked the Mile-Around Woods & made friends with the horses & a huge Sycamore 🌳 at the @parkmccullough🏡 • Visited the George Aiken Wildflower Trail, Hadwen Woods @benningtonmuseum, Robert Frost’s grave & @benningtonmonumentvt 🌸 • Picked apples @terrysorchard 🍎 & goofed around with giant gourds @theapplebarnofvt 🎃 Bennington is less than an hour’s drive from us, but it was enough to feel like a trip away! The foliage was starting to creep into the hills and the crisp, cool air was perfect for exploring 🍂🍁 I already can’t wait to go back! Anyone else planning a fall day trip or two? 📍Ancestral land of the Wabanaki Confederacy & Mohicans

Who’s got the bigger muscles 💪🏻 Mason or the Musclewood? American Hornbeams have a sinewy appearance that can help us ID them in the woods. Their seeds & buds are eaten by many species, including turkey & ruffed grouse - have you ever heard the drumming of a grouse in the woods?
