This week is the 28th anniversary of my first column exploring Connecticut’s natural world. 28 years. In CT. 🤯 I was recently recognized for my efforts by the Connecticut Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, an award which has been handed out every year since the 1930s.

“More than just a number.” The cemetery at the former Connecticut General Hospital for the Insane. Between 1878 and 1957 there were 1,652 people buried here in graves marked only by numbered stones. Most of the graves have been IDed and a memorial stone lists their names. #Middletown

Quite a Cape Cod sunset

Linus: "There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin." Not wrong all these years later… Tonight’s rise of the Harvest Super Moon. #Middlefield
