Athena says, “they eat like there are a million tomorrows,” expecting they can leave the hive and gather pollen at whim. And that’s exactly what happened this past winter. Athena takes full responsibility. She mistakenly assumed that bees named “Minnesota Hygienic Bees” were bred to withstand freezing winter, so Athena introduced a hive into her holdings. She discovered too late that the bees were bred in Minnesota, but their original stock descended from Italian - i.e., southern bees. The newcomers happily clustered in their hive last fall, eating honey at their customary prodigious rate and when they were hungry and an unusually warm March day signaled “spring” to them, they broke cluster and went marauding through the neighborhood. Following the pheromone trail, they discovered a neighboring hive of truly northern bred bees who had eaten into their honey stock more moderately, snuck in and stole 35 pounds of honey from that hive, leaving the clustering resident bees to starve.

Concord, New Hampshire

September 11, 2017 It’s a sad story, and Athena is obviously grieved in the telling. As we talk, she repeatedly advocates for the humane treatment of bees. She has been studying the honey bee for nine years and proclaims them “remarkable.” She ticks off admirable characteristics: Adult honey bees navigate by the polarized light of the sun. They work in harmony, altruistically, for the good of the community. They help one another. They make plans and know how to execute them. “If you understand honey bee biology, you’re absolutely in love,” she says. You may be tempted to wave away Athena’s concern about the bees, saying to yourself that some people are “dog” people, and some are “bee” people, and it’s just a preference. But actually, all of us should be concerned about the health of our bees. As Jack Kittredge writes in “The Role of Pollinators,” “Scientists estimate that between 75% and 95% of all flowering plants—more than 1,200 crops and 180,000 species—need at least some help from [pollinators.] Another way to put it is that every third bite of food you take only exists because of pollinators.” (The

Natural Farmer, Summer 2017) Two years ago, Athena opened Wonalancet Honey Bee Company to supply local beekeepers with the tools and knowledge to build sustainable hives. Clean eating trends, and the news that pollinator populations are dropping have led to an explosion of micro-farming. As Athena puts it, many people react emotionally. “I want to be a beekeeper and save the bees,” they think, but they don’t always know how to find the tools to successfully bee-keep here in central New Hampshire. She gives three broad guidelines. First, she says, “start with healthy bees from northern beekeepers willing to split a hive” of Russian, Carniolan, or Buckfast bees that are acclimated to our cold temperatures and short pollen seasons. Check that the bees are “not dependent on artificial supplemental feeding,” and make sure they have already overwintered in the north, in a plant hardiness zone of 5 or 6. You do not want bees that have been treated for mites. Hardy bees that have built their immune systems will be able to fight off mites themselves. Second, she recommends that prospective beekeepers join a reputable bee school. There are great beekeepers in central New Hampshire and across the border into Maine, who are “really learning how to sustainably raise their own bees” and are willing to share their knowledge. Look for teachers who will instruct you on how to take care of healthy bees. For years, the emphasis has been on trying to bring health to sick bees through forced supplemental feeding and artificial pollen. Beekeepers successful at overwintering honey

bees start their students with healthy, climate-ready stock and teach them how to retain health in the hive. In addition, a reputable bee mentor will make sure they take on only enough students as they can connect with a healthy starter hive. Although it used to be common for mentors to hook students up with bees gathered commercially, the market has become increasingly infested with mercenary providers who don’t think twice about selling sick bees, Athena warns. Yes, beginner and intermediate bee school will cost $200 or more, but keep in mind that the investment can be recouped in savings from having to restock your hives. Besides, reputable bee school educators aren’t looking for quick money. Like their bees, they tend to be incredibly altruistic. “If you’re making a profit in [backyard] beekeeping, you’re probably doing something not honest,” says Athena. Finally, just like honey bees, beekeepers thrive best when they live and work cooperatively. Athena strongly recommends that both new and veteran beekeepers join a club. Beekeeping practices are changing and bees thrive under a variety of management practices. It’s important to keep up, and a team-led club, like the local Winnipesaukee Beekeepers, can offer invaluable opportunity to learn about a wide variety of methods. No single leader dictates how things “should” be done. Not interested in beekeeping, but still want to support a friendly environment for pollinators? Keep in mind these guidelines: when landscaping, use native plants

to attract northern-acclimated pollinators; plant in “waves” so something colorful blooms all season long; include a water source or bare ground that will collect water—bees drink loads of water when pollinating; plant a variety of flowers in clusters so the bees can find them easily; and avoid pesticides. Pesticides are carried in pollen back to the hive. They weaken bees’ immune systems and can be transferred in honey production. Looking at her hives, Athena says she anticipates four more weeks of good foraging for her bees and looks forward to teaching her current class of 22 students about overwintering

of their hives. She expects to open a new class for beginning beekeepers later this fall. It’s good for her soul, she says. “When you start losing faith in humanity and wonder what this world is coming to…and then you have 22 students who care about the world and are doing a great job with their resources…” her voice trails off, satisfied.

Star Gazing Program at Castle in the Clouds on Friday, September 15 On Friday evening, September 15, join the New Hampshire Astronomical Society for a memorable stargazing experience in the wide, open field at Castle in the Clouds overlooking the panorama of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Belknap Range in Moultonboro. The evening begins within an indoor Power Point presentation at the Carriage House by Ed Ting of the NH Astronomical Society. Ting’s slides include many celestial photos that he took himself. After learning more about the night sky and what is likely to be visible, guests will board the trolley to the field by Shannon Pond. There, telescopes will be set up to view the stars, constellations, planets, and more. Other members of the NH Astronomical Society will be on hand to explain and encourage star-gazing and help identify constellations and planets in the late summer night sky. This event is perfect for both children and adults. All are welcome, and no registration is required. The program is free to the public, but donations

are welcome. Donations go directly to support more family programs and events such as the Star Gazing event. For this program, entrance will be via Ossipee Park Road and parking is in the main Castle in the Clouds parking lot. Walk to The Carriage House for the indoor presentation and then board one of the Castle’s trolleys for the short drive to the field to look at the night sky. The program will be cancelled if the sky is overcast or cloudy. Information will be posted on the Castle Facebook page and website, or you can call 603476-5900. Castle in the Clouds is owned and operated by the not-for-profit Castle Preservation Society whose mission is to preserve, interpret and share the buildings and landscape of the Castle in the Clouds as an educational and cultural resource for the Lakes Region. To become a member of Castle in the Clouds, go to www.castleintheclouds. org or call 603-476-5417. Castle in the Clouds is open daily, 10 am to 5 pm, through October 22, 2017.

Boating Excitement Coming to Wolfeboro

September 11, 2017

Vintage Boats from near and far are expected Thrilling. Daring. Speedy. Amazing. These are just a few of the descriptions of the New Hampshire Boat Museum’s Race Boat Regatta on Lake Winnipesaukee. This year the museum staff are preparing for the 10th biennial Wolfeboro Vintage Race Boat Regatta, to be held on Wolfeboro Bay September 15 and 16. The two-day event will be filled with the thrilling spectacle of vintage triple cockpits, outboards, Gold Cup racers, skiffs, and hydroplanes running in heats around a one-mile course. To learn more about all the details of the event, visit nhbm. org and click on the Regatta icon for details. The Wolfeboro Regatta is regarded as one of the best venues on the vintage race boat circuit. Race crews are signed up to attend from as far south as Florida and western Canada. It is anticipated that over 40 crews will be present this year, and the race is sure to be a great spectator sport, full of action and excitement. The heats will occur on Friday and

Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm, with over 40 vintage race boats performing demonstration laps on a one-mile oval course on the Bay. The public is invited to see and hear these boats run from the Wolfeboro Town Docks during these days. There is no charge to watch the heats from the docks. For those wishing to view the action up close from the water, the Winnipesaukee Belle will be offering rides throughout the day. The cost for the water tours is $12.00 per person. Tickets can be purchased at the Regatta on the Town Docks in Wolfeboro. For those more adventurous, many of the race boat drivers are donating rides on their race boats with the proceeds going to the NH Boat Museum. The cost for these charity rides will range from $100.00 to $300.00 depending on the chosen boat. Those attending the Regatta will be given the opportunity to view the crew staging area also known as the Hot Pits. This secured area will be open to the public only between heats, but will

Learn About Witchcraft Trial History

On Tuesday, September 19 at 7 pm at the Corner Meeting House, the Belmont Historical Society is sponsoring a program on the Salem Witchcraft Trials. The program is titled: The Capital Crime of Witchcraft: What Primary Sources Tell Us. With Halloween coming up in October, this should be an interesting and timely program! On first impression, the witchcraft trials of the Colonial era may seem to have been nothing but a free-for-all, fraught with hysterics. The program

presenter, Margo Burns, of Manchester, NH, explores an array of prosecutions in 17th-century New England, from first formal complaints to arrest warrants, indictments of formal charges to death warrants, and the reversals of excommunications years after the fact, which demonstrate how methodically and logically the Salem Court worked. This program focuses on the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 and 1693, when 19 people were hanged and one crushed to death, but also examines a

variety of other Colonial witchcraft cases in New Hampshire and Connecticut. Margo is a descendant of Rebecca Nurse, who was also hanged in 1692 for the crime of witchcraft. Margo Burns is the Project Manager and Associate Editor of Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt, published in 2009 by Cambridge University Press, the definitive collection of transcriptions of the legal records of the episode. Burns has appeared in a variety of TV documentaries about the trials.

This past summer, she spoke at Salem’s Trials: Lessons and Legacy of 1692, A Symposium Commemorating the 325th Anniversary of the Salem Witch Trials at Salem State University. Funding support for the program has been provided by the NH Humanities Council’s Humanities-to-Go Program and the Belmont Sargent Fund. The program is free and open to the public. Handicapped parking is available. For additional information, call 603-5248268.

The Eastern Coyote will be the topic at the September 21 program at the Loon Center in Moultonboro, presented by the NH Audubon Society. (Courtesy photo)

On Thursday, September 21 at 7 pm, at the Loon Center in Moultonboro, the Lakes Region Chapter of the New Hampshire Audubon Society will present a program by biologist Christine Schadler on the Eastern Coyote in New England. Chris earned an M.S. at Antioch University Graduate School. While wolf recovery was the focus of her early work, Chris’ attention shifted to the Eastern Coyote when she moved to New England to teach at UNH. She chose a farm with known coyote problems to raise sheep and experiment with non-lethal predator control. Using sound livestock management and common sense, she prevented predator losses for two decades. Chris

has spoken to livestock growers and the general public for 30 years on coexisting with coyotes. Chris is now the representative for Project Coyote in New Hampshire and Vermont, and co-founder of the NH Wildlife Coalition. She divides her time between teaching, giving presentations, and working on her book Becoming Wolf: The Eastern Coyote in New England. Between presentations and teaching, she can be found at camp in northern New Hampshire researching coyote feeding patterns and responding to the occasional wolf. The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow the signs on Blake Road from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School, or

Chillin’ While Grillin’ ~ Vegetables By Chef Kelly Ross In this Chilllin’ While Grillin’, I will be focusing on grilling fresh vegetables. My past articles have talked about some recipes for grilled vegetables, but now I will go into other options before covering a couple of other topics. This is the best time of year to grill fresh veggies. They are abundant and most of them grill up nicely. One great vegetable for grilling that is very versatile is eggplant. It goes well with other veggies as well as with some proteins. Many people only see eggplant in an Eggplant Parmesan, but there are many options. Here is an alternative and the ingredients you will need. 1-2 eggplants A few large tomatoes, the firmer the better A few loaves of fresh mozzarella Olive oil Fresh basil 4-5 cloves of garlic Salt, pepper, oregano Most Eggplant Parmesan’s are done with deep fried eggplant. That kind of defeats the purpose of eating something healthy, although we all need a fried fix, but here is an alternative. Peel and slice the eggplant. When slicing, try to make the slices approximately 3/4 of an inch thick. The tomatoes should be sliced to the same thickness, as well as the mozzarella. Brush both sides of the eggplant and tomatoes with olive oil and season with the spices. On a very hot grill, grill the eggplant and tomato. The tomato will cook quicker and be ready to flip before the eggplant. You want the tomato to soften up quite a bit but don’t let it over cook. Once the eggplant is flipped, lay the cooked tomato on top of the eggplant, then top with the mozzarella and close the lid for the cheese to melt. If you feel the eggplant is going to burn or overcook, you can always finish it in the oven to melt the cheese. Top with some fresh basil and dig in. You can serve with pasta or potato of your choice as it is a versatile entrée. You could also serve with some of the following ideas: Grill zucchini, summer squash, corn on the cob, or my favorite - potatoes sliced with peppers and onions with oil and seasonings wrapped in tin foil and

cooked on the grill. If the potatoes are your preference, you can either slice the potatoes or cut them in 1x1 pieces. I cut the peppers and onions in 1x1 pieces as well. Cut off a couple feet of tin foil, ideally heavy-duty foil. I spray the foil with pan release, throw down a good layer of potatoes, throw in a few spoonfuls of margarine, (butter will burn), add peppers and onions, some granulated garlic, salt and pepper, and wrap them up. I usually do a second layer of foil and wrap again. Use a heavy-duty foil, not one that will rip easily when turning on the grill. As a general rule, 20 minutes or so of cooking should do it. Ideally, you are looking for steam coming out of the foil to let you know they are done. You can always poke a thermometer into the package if you want. You are going to want to see a temperature of at least 150 to guarantee they are done, but you should be able to tell by the steam. As for the corn, I suggest one of two options. Either soak the corn, in the husk, in water for a couple of hours and toss them on a hot grill and close the lid. Every five minutes or so, roll them onto the other side. If the husk burns, don’t worry. After 12-15 minutes, it will be done. Let rest a few minutes before ripping the husk off as it’s going to be crazy hot. Even after waiting a bit, it is still going to be hot! Don’t be afraid to use a towel if needed. Cooking in the husk gives it great flavor. As for the second option, husk the corn and rub generously with olive or vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. On a low to medium heat, place on a very clean grill. As opposed to the cooking of the corn in the husk, you really need to babysit the corn in this cooking fashion. Cooking in the husk will give you some lightly charred corn in areas. This way, it will be more charred, but to many, me included, it makes for some awesome corn. Roll it occasionally and try to get an even char on it without burning it. Still lather on butter when you are done. This is a nice twist on corn on the cob. It’s awesome with the flavor of the grill. Just don’t cook on a very hot grill. In the vegetable world, here is another great and yummy item that almost everyone loves: portabella

mushrooms. I have given a recipe or two for stuffed portabella’s, but this one is simpler and so darn good. For starters, you want to make a fun alternative to garlic butter. If you melt a few sticks of butter on a low to medium heat, add as much minced/chopped garlic as you like, maybe a few sprinkles or oregano and basil, and then a few splashes of white wine and lemon juice. Finish with some grated parmesan cheese to help thicken it. Pull the stem out of the mushroom. Brush the inside and outside of the mushroom liberally and grill with the inside down for a few minutes on a low to medium heat, but again, you need to babysit. Let that go for a couple of minutes, and flip them over so the inside is face up. At this point, add a generous amount of the flavored butter into the cup of the portabella and let them cook for a couple more minutes. Once they soften up (with a set of tongs you can get a feel), take them off the fire and keep

I could have snow up to my knees but I still grill outside a couple of times a week.

Joe McQuaid Program on Cog Days Joe McQuaid will discuss and sign copies of his book, Cog Days: A Boy’s Life and One Tragic Summer on Mt. Washington, at 10:30 am on Saturday, September 23, in Center Sandwich. The event will be held in Quimby Park at the Transportation Museum of the Sandwich Historical Society at 16 Maple Street. (Bring a lawn chair for seating.) McQuaid, president and former publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader, spent his summer teenage years working on the world-famous Mt. Washington Cog Railway. His parents dropped a protesting McQuaid off at the Cog’s Base Station when he was 16 and promised to return at the end of the summer. Reluctantly, he started working with the girls at the lunch counter, but soon mastered the demands

of being a brakeman and fireman. He learned inside and out what it took to work on a track crew and take care of the Cog. McQuaid describes the early history of the White Mountains, recounts the beginning of the Cog Railway, and writes of Art Teague, a World War II hero, who bought the Cog in 1962 and nurtured it as a tourist attraction. He writes of its dedicated employees, workers who identified themselves as part of the Cog, or as Coggers. (One sign of pride was to be seen wearing pants so dirty they could stand up by themselves.) McQuaid spent five years as a Cogger until 1968, and describes every aspect of what it took to run, repair and clean the railway. For information, contact George Geers, publisher, at 603-785-4811.

Bristol’s Historical Town Hall Thinking Back and Looking Forward Situated on the top of a knoll and overlooking Bristol’s beautiful square is the historical “Old Town Hall.” The building greets visitors and residents as they approach the square and bids them farewell as they leave the Newfound Lake area. For many travelers, it is a prominent landmark on their daily commutes via Route 104. Constructed in 1848, the Old Town Hall has served Bristol for 169 years. If you listen carefully when entering the building, you may still hear local resident Willie Woodard calling square dances or the excited noises of the children competing in the costume contests at the Marjorie Field Lilac Festival. You may feel the vibrations of balls bouncing in games past, fondly remember concert performances, relive the wonderful presentations of the Peter Sleeper Players on stage or rehash debates among the citizens who come together to decide the future at town meetings. The beautiful old building has been placed on the US Department of the Interior’s National Register of Historic Places (2015) and was awarded an LCHIP (Land and Community Historic Investment Program) grant. Townspeople funded a warrant article, which along with the LCHIP grant, provided a new metal roof, painting outside and in, refinished floors and other much-needed repairs. Through the donation of sweat-equity and

the labor of the building’s guardian angel, each and every window has been removed and restored. Through donations and contributions, the rest room areas are being upgraded and work continues to enable the historic building to serve the community into the future. Projects continue to be worked on through volunteer efforts. A recent acquisition by the Bristol Historical Society of a grand piano will enable concerts to return to the old hall, which has amazing acoustics. Working to continue the building’s service into the future, the Bristol Historical Society and the Old Town Hall Committee have begun fundraising to provide a kitchen facility. The kitchen will be installed in the unfinished room beside the main meeting hall. This will enable more flexibility for families and groups to use the hall for community and personal events. The layout and plan must receive LCHIP approval before construction, but plans are underway and the Bristol Historical Society and Old Town Hall Committee welcome your support and assistance. If the building calls forward memories of events you attended or visions of happenings yet to come, you are invited to help reach the goal for the kitchen by contributing to the Bristol Historical Society at 1115 Robie Road, Bristol, NH 03222. For further information, call 603-744-2751.

Berklee College of Music’s internationally acclaimed a cappella choir, Pitch Slapped, to Perform Temple B’nai Israel’s We Care concert series is bringing one of the top a cappella choral groups, Pitch Slapped, to the stage on Saturday, October 21 at the Meredith Community Auditorium located in the Inter-Lakes High School. The concert will benefit two local nonprofits, Belknap House and Genesis Behavioral Health. Both organizations provide resources for Lakes Region families. By purchasing a ticket for $27.50 to the “Families Matter Benefit Concert” you will enjoy great music, food, and drink while supporting Lakes Region families in need. Complimentary snacks and desserts can be enjoyed at 7 pm, and the concert begins at 7:45 pm. Tickets and additional information are available at www.tbinh.org. Pitch Slapped is one of the world’s premiere co-ed a cappella groups. Representing the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, the group’s repertoire spans a range of genres from pop to R&B and rock. Since its founding in 2006, Pitch Slapped has enjoyed a rapid rise to fame. The group has appeared on NBC’s “The Sing Off” and “America’s Got Talent”. Just as

the fall foliage season is peaking in the Lakes Region, Pitch Slapped will bring a variety of musical color that will leave the audience dazzled by the group’s harmonies and musicianship. Belknap House is a coalition of community members who help families in need during the cold winter months. A loss of a job, a medical situation or a car breaking down can leave a family without a home. During the brutal winter Belknap House can provide a warm bed for families and their children and empower families to become self-sufficient and independent by providing opportunities of education and resources available to them. Genesis Behavioral Health provides integrated mental and physical health care, delivered with dedication and compassion. Access to affordable mental health care reduces the burden on police and fire departments, hospitals, corrections systems and town welfare offices.

In Search of Manning Lake Story and Photo by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper It was one of those glorious late summer days when you wake up and think it’s autumn. There was a little chill in the air even though the sun was shining, spilling through the windows and trees like golden honey. It was also a Saturday – Labor Day weekend to be exact – and I had a lot on my agenda. “No time to sit around and watch a movie or read today,” I said with determination. One of my tasks was grocery shopping and picking up a delivery in Alton. It seemed a simple task until I took a wrong turn and ended up on Route 140 in Alton. I could easily have turned around, but something made me decide to drive the “very long way” back to my home. “I can always stop at Badger Brook Farm,” I consoled myself. The farm is the beautiful property

and studio of talented fiber artist Patti Bradley. Located on Province Road between Laconia and Gilmanton village, Patti has a wonderful shop brimming with fiber art supplies, from quality wool for rug hooking to books and patterns and embroidery floss and punch needle crafts and more. It is my little heaven-on-earth place to go when

I need rug hooking supplies or a break from a busy week; but more on the shop later in this story. On this particular week in September, a friend was spending a few days of much-needed relaxation on Manning Lake in the Gilmanton area and while I had no intention of interrupting her solitude and serenity, I was curious about the lake. “You mean you have lived in the Lakes Region all these years and you don’t know where Manning Lake is?” she asked me in surprise when, some weeks ago, she described the cottage she would be renting. I didn’t ask for exact directions but I knew it was a modest-sized lake and she would be doing lots of kayaking, which meant is must be more pond-like than big lake.

“Hmmm…wouldn’t it be fun to see if I can find Manning Lake?” I mused as I drove along scenic Route 140 in the Gilmanton Iron Works area. “Just to see what it looks like.” I checked my map and found that in order to reach Manning Lake, I would need to take a left onto Crystal Lake Road in Gilmanton Iron Works. Although I can easily get lost without even trying, I know the road from years past. My kids were on softball and baseball teams in elementary school and now and then played against the Gilmanton team at the Crystal Lake Park area. I took a right-hand turn off Rt. 140 onto Crystal Lake Road and was relieved to see that, although I haven’t been on the road in ages, it looks pretty much the same. Same houses, same winding road around the water, and soon enough, same beautiful Crystal Lake park area. The park is quite large and well worth stopping to take a look. On the weekend day I visited, there were a number of kayakers out on the lake enjoying the late summer’s warmth and sunshine. A celebration of some sort was taking place in a large, covered outdoor area and the atmosphere was festive. I could have spent the afternoon • Day Tripping Continued on page 29

September 11, 2017 • Day Tripping Continued from page 28 lazing by the water in the sun, but if I wanted to find Manning Lake, it meant moving on. Back on Crystal Lake Road, I drove slowly to make sure I didn’t miss a sign that would tell me the road had become Guinea Ridge Road. I was enchanted by all the cottages – large and small – that hugged the shoreline of the still-asglass lake. Those who owned cottages on the non-lake side had built deck areas on the waterfront and here and there people were sitting and basking in the last holiday of the summer season. With my car window down, I could smell smoke and barbecue flavors and hear the laughter of children splashing in the water. This, I said to myself, is why people adore the Lakes Region for summer vacations. The road dipped and twisted here and there, and soon I saw a little sandy area to pull off and park my car. I couldn’t resist doing so and found the traffic was light enough that I could saunter across the street and stand on a little bridge with incredible views of an inlet area with still water and a landscape just starting to show a hint of autumnal foliage painting the trees. Back in my car, I continued on the road and eventually it became Guinea Ridge Road. I sensed that this area has seen population for many, many years,

Page 29 and could imagine farms in the Civil War era and before. Old stonewalls lined the road, and it soon became dirt instead of paved as I drove on. “Hmmm…maybe this isn’t such a great idea,” I thought to myself when I seemed to be driving further and further into the less well populated area and the road became bumpy in places. I was not sure if I would find a dead end or if the road would continue and lead me to another town…or little Manning Lake. And speaking of the lake, I could glimpse water in the distance from time to time, between the trees but it could have been Crystal Lake I was spotting. “Just a bit more and then I will turn around,” I kept saying to myself. But always there was a pretty, old-fashioned field or a gorgeous old, well-kept farmhouse to lure me on. Just when I knew it was truly time to turn around, I spotted an iron fence and a cemetery. As anyone who loves a good backroad adventure can attest to, a cemetery is something that makes the adventure complete. It was unexpected, as these final resting places always are on a backroad. At one time, this was probably a busy road and area, and the cemetery was not just a few graves and a stone wall. No, this cemetery, although quite

discovered that many members of the Durrell family are buried in the Guinea Ridge Cemetery. There is a road called Durrell Mt. Road not far away and one may assume the road is named for the family. Many passed away at what we would consider a young age – in their 40s to 60s, although one young couple lost three children at ages 4, 2 and 1, which is quite tragic.) Heartened by this unexpected find, I wondered if more interesting things lay ahead and so I drove on. After passing more farms and fields, I came to a fork in the road and decided it was indeed time to turn around. Back at the little parking spot on Crystal Lake Road, I again parked and decided to spend a half-hour or so indulging in my hobby of plein air painting. Luckily, I had my watercolor kit and some brushes, water and paper in the car and found I could easily and safely set up my portable easel near my car. It was a scene of utter serenity; the green trees with a hint of foliage, the marshy area, the sound of paddles slicing through the still water as now and then a kayaker floated through the inlet was serenity itself. After an hour or so of painting, I headed back to Route 140 and made

my way to Gilmanton Four Corners, turning right onto Province Road towards Laconia. The open flag was flying at the entrance to Badger Brook Farm and I stopped to do a bit of rug hooking shopping and to visit with Patti Bradley. The shop is well stocked for the busy fall season; it is a time when gardeners and outdoor lovers head back inside when the weather cools, to work on fiber arts projects and Patti certainly has anything a person could want! The farm is located at 170 Province Road in Gilmanton; call 267-1200 or visit https://badgerbrookfarm.wordpress. com/about/. As I arrived in the Laconia area, I realized I didn’t pick up the delivery in Alton that I had set out to pick up, I didn’t really accomplish all I set out to on this weekend day that I had promised myself would be a work day, and I never found Manning Lake. It did not really matter, I told myself. The chores would still be there tomorrow and so would Manning Lake. But the waning summer days and sweet, golden sunshine would fade to not return until next year. That knowledge made my little day trip detour worth all the effort.
