We made another attempt to visit one of our favorite places today. We’d tried last week but found the tiny parking lot full. Today, we got out nice and early and beat the crowds, larger this weekend due to it being the long Memorial Day weekend.
The preserve is one of a series named after Rachel Carson, the naturalist who alerted people to the dangers of using DDT in farming and it is gorgeous. The walk starts on a narrow road alongside a pretty cove. There are hedgerows on each side that are covered in wild roses in the summer. The path then branches off past a marshy reed bed and a butterfly garden, then through some woods before opening out into a meadow and then onto a pebble beach. It was low tide, so we were even able to cross the causeway to a small island. It was a lovely way to start the day.
