Brooksby Farm today


Grandma Vera, Cousin Finn, Leo and I all had a good time at Brooksby Farm in Peabody (cool aerial view here) this morning. First, we all got splashed by the pig flopping in his mud. Then we looked at turkeys, picked (and sampled) peaches, and picked flowers.

I love that we can dress the boys like this. I know it won't last forever. Also, Finn assumes the Granddad Harrington pose (hand behind back) even while eating.

Leo is saying, "Thank you Cousin Pat"


Pat Mullen always sends Leo popcorn for his birthday, in honor of Leo's Grandma Louise, whose love of popcorn was legendary.

About the container, Leo said, "Cool box". He has also lately been heard saying "awesome".

Vermont 2007


Nicky especially enjoyed the drive to Vermont this year.


Leo got to feed a real kid at Shelburne Farm.


We spent lots of time watching the three-day-old piglets and rooting for the runt to latch on.


Leo can now climb on tractors all by himself.

From Long Point

All well here in Vermont, if a little chilly(39 the other morning!). Highlights have been bottlefeeding a goat at Shelburne Farm, climbing Mt Philo, and eating great pizza on a dock while watching the ferry come in from New York.
