Summer Adventures at the Pond

 

During the long, humid weeks of summer, the youngsters with adventurous hearts seek satisfaction in one of the oldest, dirtiest and yet most satisfying of past times: they go to the local pond! Here they can find things real and unreal to stimulate their minds. They can find the reality of frogs and snakes, crayfish and turtles, cool creatures from the primeval past. They can test speed and reflexes in the capture of these critters.

Here too, they can sometimes fall into the mire and become messier than the things they try and catch. At the pond, the youngster can find the creations of the mind.  Is that not a goblin hiding behind that rock?  Is there not a dinosaur swimming just under the water, it's eyes peering out?  Could this pond not the landing zone for an alien invasion, bent on world conquest? 

Ahh, the joys of it all!

Then there is the return home, often a mess, sometimes with 'friend' in hand.  Why does mommy scream so when we bring our 'friends' in?  Why the insistence on going into the bathtub?

We had plenty of fun in the water already!

Historical Tidbit

In Bridgewater,  the Work Projects Administration assisted in the construction of the Great Hill water tower and the paving of Bedford Street.
  
 While Bedford Street was laid out in the very early 1800's as part of a turnpike from New Bedford to Weymouth, it remained a "seasonal" road for many years.   

 

In the spring, Bedford Street was impassable because of the mud as it passed though the low areas near the river.  

When Rt. 28 was originally laid out by the state, from Boston to Chatham and through Bridgewater, it came down Summer Street. The trolley line to Middleboro went down South Street.

Ahhh the wonders of pizza.... 

 "Pizza makes me think that anything is possible." ~ Henry Rollins 

"Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around." ~ Anna Quindlen

Pizza is the one food that can bring opposites together because it is the most  versatile  food on the planet.  One person can have  thin, wheat, gluten free dough, topped with  sauce made from local, organic tomatoes, peppers and herbs; topped with garden veggies and sprinkled with fresh organic cheese.  And the other the meat-overs  special: pepperoni, sausage, beef, hickory-smoked bacon and ham. And yet both would say they had "pizza for dinner"
