Fall Events to Enjoy
November 18th, 2009
It’s that time of year; pumpkins, corn stalks and Thanksgiving decorations are everywhere.
Last weekend we were blessed with beautiful weather, so we decided to get one more bicycle ride in. We set out around noon, did the loop down Long Hill Road through the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge and turned down White Bridge Road to Pleasant Plains. We then stopped for lunch at the scenic overlook. The new visitor center at the Refuge is open and had many visitors. The trail head on Long Hill Road was also busy. It’s amazing how the roads you drive everyday have wonderful vistas and active wildlife that you just don’t notice while in a car. I encourage folks to get out and see their neighborhood from a different point of view, by walking or bicycling.

Madison Event:
The Madison Historical Society will hold a fundraising event on December 5, 2009 from 1-5pm. My listing on 254 Woodland Road is this year’s host house and tours will be available.
