Radiant, cozy winter evenings lounging by the wood stove. Giving away countless stalks of rhubarb, then being rewarded with endless pies & crisps. Sitting on the back deck, identifying 27 varieties of birds for the annual Great American Bird Count. Welcoming lovely new neighbors while being thankful for the “Old Timers” who’ve lived in this wonderful neighborhood forever. Looking forward to monthly meetings of the Acton Road Book Club.
Raising our son in the amazing Community of Ashland. Hosting yummy breakfast gatherings on the screen porch. Watching the perennial triangle garden magically transform over the course of the gardening season. The annual Spring bonfire in the woods. Arriving home from work in a snowstorm, only to find our neighbors have cleared the driveway.
Carrying the day’s household garbage to the compost bin. Pampering our organic lawn. Picking and arranging tussy-mussies for our friends. Eating fresh, free & fabulous produce from the natural raised beds. Sautéing inch-thick asparagus spears. Walking out the front door to the singular aroma of Beach Roses. Showing off our property on the Ashland Garden Club Tour.
Wonderful visits from the children and grandchildren. Serving them the freshest blueberry pancakes ever. Parties, meetings, celebrations. Having more fun than the trick or treaters. Enchanting holidays at home. Starting our married life here 41 years ago.
We’ll miss 14 Acton Road like crazy! Yet, we’re so excited for the new owners. May your life here be richer than ever!
