  1. My town in southeastern Massachusetts got about 30 inches of snow today with higher drifts. Parts of MA and RI are breaking Blizzard of '78 records. A lot of my back yard was more than twice dog height and the area Broxo is standing in was shoveled 3 times today.

  6. It's not spring yet! The birds will soon be swooping in to gobble up these winterberries (Ilex verticillata) that have hung on through the winter until the time when they are most needed by wildlife. Not long ago one of "our" squirrels was in this shrub gathering a meal.

  8. A happy find, not in the woods, but in the local #Fairhaven #Massachusetts #Walmart, was Phlox divaricata, a native that the big box decided to stock as one of its perennials this season. I bought a couple and planted them under my pine tree.

  9. So the day job in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts can be fun. This summer on Thursday afternoons I'll be a barber/dentist/surgeon demonstrating "Dreadful Medicine" at Fort Phoenix.

  10. Highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum). Each of these many lovely flowers will become a berry! These are on the north side of the house where they get some morning and afternoon sun.

  11. Riverside Cemetery in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts was created in 1850 by Warren Delano II, the grandfather of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. An early "rural" or "garden style" cemetery, it is a favorite walking place. It was modeled after Mt. Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA. These are from this morning's walk.

  15. It was a misty spring morning on the shore of Buzzards Bay at West Island in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts. The WWII watch tower has stood near the shore since the 1940s.

  16. Wednesday is a walking day with Broxo at the town beach at #WestIsland in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts. He played with some of his dog friends, but at first it was just the two of us.

  17. The #Fairhaven #Massachusetts Visitors Center is housed in an 18th Century building, so my dooryard garden is planted with herbs and flowering perennials that would have been available in 1798 when the building was built. The common orange #daylilies are starting to pop up.

  18. In my coastal #Massachusetts planting zone (7a), #Rosemary can winter over in south-facing areas, especially close to a wall that reflects the warmth back at the plant. This variety "Arp" is particularly hardy here. This has been growing for years now in the #Fairhaven Visitors Center herb garden. I have cuttings rooting indoors.

  19. My office this morning. The #Fairhaven #Massachusetts Visitors Center is located in a 1798 Federal-style building built as a private academy. Being a one-man Town department, I had to shovel my way in this morning.

  20. About 4.5 inches of #snow in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts this morning. My work time was delayed a couple of hours, so I could take a few #dog photos. His name is Broxo, after a graphic novel written by a friend of ours.

  21. This early 20th Century #postcard promotes the #trolley line that ran from #NewBedford #Massachusetts to #FortPhoenix #Fairhaven This is now the location of the #MassDCR Fort Phoenix State Beach and Reservation. #SouthcoastMA #FairhavenMA @BuzzardsBay

  22. -8° F, feels like about -27° F, they say. I soon have to head to work in a drafty building built in 1798. If the car starts. At least it's not as fucken wimdy. #Massachusetts #Winter #SouthcoastMA #Fairhaven #Wimdy

  23. On Tuesday I read this book to a class of third graders. It is about a young man who became the first #Japanese person to live in the United States in the 1840s, right here in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts. Many Japanese visitors come to Fairhaven because of the connection with #Manjiro #Nakahama. #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #USHistory #Japan

  24. In our town, there have been reports of robins stripping the holly berries from trees, but my #winterberries, Ilex verticillata, are all still here. #NativePlants #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #Massachusetts.

  25. The Romanesque style Millicent Library in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts was financed by industrialist Henry H. Rogers of the Standard Oil Co. in memory of his daughter who died at the age of seventeen. It was designed by architect Charles Brigham and was dedicated January 30, 1893, what would have been Millicent's 20th birthday. The tower of the Unitarian Memorial Church, also a Rogers and Brigham collaboration, is to the left in the background. #architecture #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #library

  26. These cannon have been in my hometown since before the Civil War, but Fort Phoenix itself was originally built in what is now #Fairhaven between 1775 and 1777, only to be destroyed by British troops in September 1778. There are five of these Seacoast Defense guns here. They are fired with blank charges of black powder a few times a year. (I hold a #Massachusetts cannon firing license.) #FortPhoenix #Cannon #History #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #BuzzardsBay

  27. Limestone carving above the east entrance of #Fairhaven High School in #Massachusetts. Italian stone cutters were brought to America to work of the buildings donated to the town by Standard Oil Co. executive Henry H. Rogers (1840-1909). The building was dedicated in 1906. #architecture #scuplture #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #school #Elizabethan

  28. I'm preparing a new historical program called Dreadful Medicine to be presented weekly at Fort Phoenix in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts during the summer. It will include discussion and demonstrations of medical practices by a barber surgeon around the time of the American Revolution. #history #reenacting #18thcentury #southcoastma #fairhavenma #fortphoenix #barbersurgeon #dentistry
