Replication of original Beech Hill gate.

Yesterday a bunch of master craftsmen—artists, really—completed an accurate replication of the original (from a century ago) gate to the Gribbel property at Beech Hill. To celebrate, Jack and I hiked the hill, as usual.

Saw a bunch of birds today, too—including some little guys. And ate a few ripe blueberries, natch.
