“A horse swished his tail and chewed on grass along a stone wall under a maple, the tree’s leaves just starting to show a blush of autumn color. In the nearby forest, an old hay rake sat rusting in the woods. Along a dusty farm road, cattails swayed in the wind at the edge of a marsh filled with pond lilies.”

So begins a wonderfully written article from the Hartford Courant on the Avery Farm Nature Preserve trails and his visit there.
