Moose Hill ~ Mass Audubon Society ~ Sharon Mass.
We haven't been to Massachusetts Audubon Society Moose Hill in years. We went for a nice long walk on December 27, 2011. It was a cool and cloudy day. We took a walk out to Billings Barn, through the field, past the Cistern and up to the Bluffs. Its a great view up top. It was very windy and cloudy so it wasn't the best day for taking pictures and videos. We ended our walk on the Boardwalk that goes over the wetlands. We could hear a happy Black-Capped Chickadee singing away. They are the Massachusetts State Bird. We had a wonderful morning.

About Mosse Hill:
Visitors can both enjoy the varied, expansive grounds of this former “gentleman’s farm,” and educate themselves about its agricultural history by exploring cellar holes and tracing stone walls built by centuries of farm labor. Traverse open fields cleared by ox and plow, later “mown” by herds of sheep, and, well into the 20th century, trod by dairy cows.
Between Boston and Providence, only Great Blue Hill, at 635 feet, is taller than 466-foot Moose Hill. The hill's impressive elevation, and the fact that it is located near what once was considered the informal “border” between the Massachusetts and Wampanoag Indian tribes, may have meant it played a strategic role in the cultural and political interplay of indigenous people.
Its height also guarantees terrific views of the Boston skyline and the Neponset River Valley from the upper hayfield.
Trails lead to summit fields, where grassland birds are again finding a home. The reservation's wooded hillsides still shelter some mature specimens of the American chestnut tree, a species that used to dominate forests in the eastern United States until it was it was nearly exterminated by a bark fungus. Look for the trees' familiar, spiny-husked nuts, which traditionally nourished wild turkey and white-tailed deer, both of which you will still see in large numbers at the farm today.
The opportunities for outdoor recreation here maintain a community tradition dating back 150 years. Even as the town’s agriculture was waning in response to Americans moving west, civic fathers seized upon the public's emerging desire for leisure and healthful pursuits by opening a hotel and other tourist attractions on nearby Lake Massapoag. The elevation, crisp breezes and clean waters of the local environment were considered beneficial, even restorative; a sanatorium for lung disease patients was built, and soon Sharon was a destination for pastoral pursuits.

Once in a blue moon does a distinct property like this come on the market!
Described as an Arboretum and Garden of Eden,” this unique property is quiet and peaceful with distant neighbors on either side and conservation land across the street.
Located in the desirable Moose Hill neighborhood, this custom H-shaped 8 room, 3 bedroom contemporary ranch with 1.92 acres of land is surrounded by nature and is beautifully situated on a Scenic Road, designated by the Town of Sharon.
Yet this serene Sharon setting in is within easy WALKING distance of the Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary, the Trustees of the Reservation Moose Hill Farm and the commuter rail to Boston and Providence/TF Green Airport. It is also only minutes to Rt 95 and other major roads.
This beautiful and well maintained home has much to offer including a new roof, new septic, energy efficient boiler, high velocity A/C, 200 amp service, updated kitchen, baths and more. So many wonderful features: cherry hardwood floors, cathedral ceilings, custom Canadian birch kitchen cabinets, granite counters and a wall of pantries, large Andersen windows, 2 fireplaces, lots of storage and a finished lower level that is ready for a wood burning stove. The large 21' x 23' studio with electricity over the 2 car detached garage could make for a great art, music or yoga room or a home office.
For 25 years, the owners have thoughtfully placed hundreds of different rhododendrons and mountain laurels, unusual trees including varieties of magnolias, Japanese maples and companion plants including wildflowers on part of the land. These bloom from March until the last frost. Because of the plantings’ maturity they require minimal maintenance (mostly Spring and Fall). In addition, there is a deer fence around the entire perimeter of the property to protect the gardens and plantings.
The land includes walking paths and has caught the attention of gardening clubs and the Massachusetts Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, which awarded a plant selection Best in Show several times. Over the years, various groups and school children have enjoyed touring the gardens.
In addition to its award-winning schools, vibrant music and artistic culture, beautiful Lake Massapoag, local farms and Borderland State Park, Sharon has also recently been recognized as one of the safest towns in Massachusetts for 2015.
Gorgeous every season, this is a must see property!!!

This piece is almost too simplistic, but I posted it anyway. I'm considering a smaller guitar like a Lowden OO and hope to get better tone so these simple tunes sound better. This is based on a lullaby by Spencer Lewis of Randolph, Vermont.
Rocky Woods ~ The Trustees of Reservation
Yesterday we went to The Trustees of Reservation Rocky Woods in Medfield Massachusetts. I have not been here in years. It was such a beautiful day. We were there for 3 hours. I loved the walk up on Tower Path. There was such a magnificent view. You could see Gillette Stadium from up top,, which is where the New England Patriots play. We plan on coming back this Fall when the leaves start to change color.
