Marker on Dutcher Street near the corner of Adin Street. |
Above the street donation plaque is a sign pointing to...well, Milford, Medway, Holliston. Certainly not Upton in that direction. The sign was originally near the park, at the corner of Freedom and Dutcher streets, as you can see in the old photo above. |

A tree uprooted by the winds of Hurricane Irene damaged this sidewalk on Dutcher Street. Click on the picture to see more scenes of Irene's work. |
The Parklands a few days after Hurricane Irene. Click on the picture to see more of the damage there. |
That's a lot of geese. More than I've been seeing on the pond this summer. Perhaps a migrating flock that decided to drop in for rest and a bite to eat. Maybe those are the locals in the foreground, protecting their claim to the beach. |
Day in the Park - September 10. These pictures were taken at about 9:30, which is why there aren't many people there. I went to a funeral and wasn't able to be there to take photos during the busy part of the day. For the same reason, I didn't get pictures of the parade. |
The Simmons family, along with cousin DJ and dog Bailey took a walk through the Parklands on September 18 to celebrate Mon and Dad's twelfth anniversary. |
Work being done on the diamond at the town park. Perhaps the horse being used for work there some years ago, in the picture below, wasn't available. |
A few geese at the upper end of Hopedale Pond decided I was too close and took off. A minute later, a little further up, the heron did, too. On September 19, I saw seven swans a-swimming on the pond. Two days later there were eight. Before this week I'd never seen more than four. |
