Marconi Beach

Marconi Beach – Wellfleet, MA

Leave a Comment / New England / Megan

Last weekend was in-law family Christmas, down on Cape Cod. We did manage to sneak away for one day, and while out and about, found our way to Marconi Beach. It was cold, but lovely, and the chop was good. There is a surfer in one of these pictures, if you squint.

Had a lovely walk on Saturday at the Merck Forest and Farmland Center. Went to see the lambs (the goats were more in play), and had a great wildflower walk in the surrounding trails. Did get minorly soaked by a passing rainstorm, but not enough to dampen the day.

We were in VT last weekend, visiting my in laws. They live Bennington, which is in the corner of the state that borders Massachusetts and New York. The town right over the border in MA is Williamstown, home of Williams College. It also happens to have one of my favorite coffee shops (Tunnel City), so

Saturday was a glorious day, other than the insane wind. (I was bracing myself to take this picture.) The sky was perfectly blue, and there was lovely foliage along the road. Just a great fall day.

We were supposed to be in Scotland this week. But, 2024 is apparently the year we weren’t meant to leave the US. Our two previous trips to Canada were scuttled by different events, and Scotland was scuttled by a family emergency over here for the person we were supposed to be visiting. So, we decided

So it’s June 23rd, and I’m catching up on most of my regular June posts. You may notice very little wildflower content. We’ve had some family stuff going on that has brought us out of state for most of the weekends of June so far, to Springfield, MA. I never had a reason to go
