Berkshires, Massachusetts

Boston

While in the Berkshires we decided to take a day trip to Boston. Cameron and I had never been there before and since we were so close we thought we shouldn’t pass it up. Driving across Massachusetts we were able to see how the fall foliage really does move eastward. While we were there we took a guided tour of Boston by someone in costume, walked and Freedom Trail, went to Boston Commons and Beacon Hill. We packed a lot into one day, but we were able to get a taste of Boston and it was chilly.

Massachusetts

While we were in Massachusetts we tried to spend as much time outdoors as possible. We went on a short hike around Mt. Greylock one morning on a day it was quite foggy, it was so peaceful as we were the only ones out. We also were able to go to Norman Rockwell Museum and were overwhelmed with how prolific and passionate he was about his art.

Hancock Shaker Village

There is a peaceful serenity that exists among this vacant Shaker Village. The simplicity allows for even the most common item to shine with its inherent beauty. Being here made me want to go home and throw away all my extra stuff. Living in the consumer based, storage unit renting society we live in we would never allow our possessions to have a shelf to themselves, but cram as much as humanely possible upon them. Each bowl or chair is given space to breathe and be appreciated. I love how they have pegs all along the walls to hang whatever they deem necessary. In every turn I saw beauty and in every landscape I wished it was my backyard. Maybe I am surprisingly more of a country girl than I once thought.

Visiting the color in Berkshire County was not only a privilege but a great opportunity to relax and reset our internal clock to the great cycle of the seasons. The orange, crimson, yellow, tan and deep browns were memorable, but the company was far superior even to all the beauty that surrounded us. How do you know it is fall until you have walked through the leaves and drank in the cool eastern air. I loved it, we loved it, every minute of it. The only problems now are that we wished our friends lived closer and which pictures to post.
