Earlier this week, while in the garden at John Adams house at Peacefield, I took this picture. It's a five minute drive from my house and a pretty spot to sit and contemplate.
I'm often thinking about our current president, the next president and former presidents. Living in Quincy, the City of Presidents, makes it more poignant. What would the two Adams presidents think of what's happening now? Horrified? Hopeful? Maybe a little bit of both.
At this point, we're getting multiple October surprises daily. I'm sure we cannot even begin to imagine how things will ultimately turn out. So take a deep breath. Exhale. Repeat.

The new off-season list is not up yet, so for now the summer list remains available.
"Posterity!
You will never know, how much it cost the present generation, to preserve your freedom!
I hope you will make a good use of it.
If you do not, I shall repent in heaven, that I ever took half the pains to preserve it."
~ John Adams
That's all for now. Feel free to drop me a line. Stay well. ❤️
