Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Autumn in New England

I know that leaf photos are corny as heck. So what? My Red Japanese Maple is colorful. I would never have planted one of these flamboyant things, but somebody else planted it there about 30 years ago, and I am not going to cut it down.

Like the slope of that roof. What is that structure, if I may ask.

Yup, those trees are colorful....out this way I like the tamaracks going yellow in bunchs in our forests.

That's a garden shed. That's called an "eyebrow" roof design.

It looks more like the entry to a hobbit-house. Your tree is just beautiful!

Oh. We call that "Subsidence" in England.

Too bad they didn't plant a few dozen.

What a gorgeous tree! Wish they would grow and thrive down here in Houston. We get maples, yes, but generally not the weather that would cause them to be such a brilliant color.

Shouldn't you be flying a rising sun flag in front of that thing? I mean, just to keep the authenticity? You better believe they would in Dedham or Newton, or Westport.
