Middlesex Fells Reservation

Our weekend walk was at Middlesex Fells. A new place for us. An amazing 2,500 acres of fields and woodlands right near Boston. Skippy loved the big open field with lots of other dogs to run with. It was a misty gray day with silver dew drops on the grasses. A really nice day for a walk.

Too bad we got lost, but then I'd always heard that's what happens at the Fells. Its just such a big place that us city folks get lost. We even had 2 maps and a GPS! Oh well. We had a lot of fun. I think Skippy would recommend this walk.

If you go, the big field where dogs run is called the Sheepfold.

You can see Skippy's new summer haircut in these pictures. Really short for the hot weather!

August gold

August field
grasses field
An August morning! The world is at its most beautiful. The grasses have turned to gold, the sky is a soft blue. Skippy and I found a nice swimming spot and then he ran through the spun gold beauty. Ran and tumbled and rolled and chased other wet dogs. Happiness is a wet dog and a big August field.
