I had to go to a meeting last night in West Brookfield,
Massachusetts. Normally, it’s a twenty
minute drive. But I forgot that the
route I usually take is still closed because of the flooding from Quaboag Pond
and Seven Mile River. I was about ten
minutes late.
It’s something to get used to living in Central
Massachusetts. The old standard…the
shortest distance between two points is a straight line…doesn’t apply
here. It’s because in Worcester County
we have more than 50 ponds and lakes with public access and some more
without. So no matter where you go, you
have to navigate around one of them.
But I made it to the meeting that was held in my friend
Laurel’s house. Laurel and her husband
Kim live on Wickaboag Pond in West Brookfield.
What a beautiful spot!! We were
fortunate to be invited to dinner there this past weekend where we watched the
moon rise over the water. I’d like to
share some of those photos with you.
Sometimes when I’m running late, I yearn for those long,
straight roads like we have in the Midwest where I grew up. But mostly, when I am looking at the
reflections in one of the many Worcester County ponds that I have to drive
around, I am very happy that I have to leave the house a little early to get
where I am going.

yes, yes, so beautiful... Is the dock under water?
And kitty waiting patiently to jump the fence, maybe? =)
Thanks for the comments! Yes, that dock was underwater. We've had soooo much rain. Not sure about the kitty however. He looked pretty content just sitting and looking at the pond.
