On the way to the Orange Line to go downtown, I passed these gorgeous clematis growing through a fence in a front garden. I had to stop and take some photos, even though I was in a hurry.
My sister is flying in to Boston tonight as I write this, and I'll be driving her to southern New Hampshire tomorrow, where she'll be leading a Road Scholar group for a week. She is an extremely experienced long-distance hiker and will be leading the group on several hikes in the Monadnock area.They will ascend Mount Monadnock later in the week. I climbed Monadnock with my sister years ago when we were young, but I won't be doing anything like that again!
