With only three weeks left before the wedding, the amount of time we have to adventure continues to fall as each wedding detail we finalize seems to beget yet another issue that needs to be dealt with. After a dispiriting trip to the mall last Saturday, we were craving some country air, so we headed out to Phil's Apples, a family-run orchard in Harvard, Massachusetts.
Phil's won the State Cider Championship, and the video below doesn't do justice to the thick, sweet cider at this place. I plan to make the 90 minute round trip to Phil's for the sole purpose of purchasing cider at least one more time this fall.
After picking our fill, we headed to Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge, which Phil's wife described as "a beautiful place for a hike where you'll be completely alone." Unfortunately, we live in America, which means that one of the primary reasons we have Wildlife Refuges is to give people an opportunity to shoot and kill defenseless creatures. The second we stepped onto the trail we heard the rapid fire of semi-automatics that continued throughout our hike. Although there are few places more beautiful than New England in the fall, it's hard to connect with nature -- let alone spot birds -- when the crackle of gunfire penetrates everything. Firearms shough have no place in Wildlife Refuges.
