Today’s Image From Home is of the Quinapoxet, a clear, swift river that runs near our house. In the happy months (for me, that’s spring, summer, and fall!), we tromp along its banks regularly in search of frogs, water striders, trout, Great Blue Heron, or quiet moments to cool our feet.
The Quinapoxet feeds the mighty Wachusett Reservoir, and so there is no swimming allowed. Toe-dipping, however, is another story altogether. The river runs alongside our stretch of the Central Massachusetts Rail Trail, which I’ll show you tomorrow, and which explains why my toe-dipper is sporting a Pink Princess helmet.
