The Martin family stand by their just-completed
snowman. The New Year's Day temperature
that was well into the 50s left the snow wet and
sticky. Just right for making a snowman

Last month I mentioned that I'd start doing a picture or two from
neighboring towns each month. This one is a bit more distant than I
intended, but DJ and I were out
geocaching yesterday and were in
the area, as shown by the marker, where Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut meet. As the picture was taken, DJ was
standing in Massachusetts (Douglas) while reaching his hands
into the other two states. I took the picture from Rhode Island, or
maybe I was in Connecticut...or both.

No, not this year. This picture shows damage from an ice
storm in Hopedale in 1921. Click on the picture for more.

My guess is that the buses were parked on
Hopedale Street so that the lot where they
are parked (near Prospect Street, behind
the Dutcher Street apartment house) could
be cleared of snow.
