This was taken from the barrier beach where we drove out in our 4WD SUV. Getting the permit to drive on the beach was a major goal for the fall.<br />

Not far from the house is a good put-in spot at high tide for kayaks and canoes. The barrier beach is just a 15-minute paddle, and the nearby shoreline makes for interesting paddling as well.Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03603350480598194773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542025815500895341.post-62086939729939683522011-01-18T17:41:00.000-05:002013-05-30T15:01:09.543-04:00Conservation Walk at Ice House Pond<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The <a href="http://www.orleanspondcoalition.org/">Orleans Pond Coalition</a> has acquired most of the property around Ice House Pond, the pond you see on the left as you approach Champlain Rd. The new trails around it are best accessed from Tonset Road. Below is Reuben's Pond within the same property. <a href="http://orleansconservationtrust.org/ice-house-reubins-pond-conservation-area/">Map</a><br />

By mid October the grass was looking pretty good. Mowing was completed just after this photo. The alyssum was looking great, and I'll plant that again next spring. Montauk daisies in the back island were just finishing up their bloom. Herbs planted along the retaining wall did well also.Janhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03603350480598194773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3542025815500895341.post-89469094616466941502010-07-20T15:03:00.000-04:002011-01-18T20:03:33.564-05:00Getting closer to the view<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJMnCrwV1vPjE6YEbmLWoxumuhGYwK986VzO7uBvhYHDQF5M7_KjJD6vol06ioA2P3tFdO6P2ncHHOrq5TJcHfAy6npQpkqsbBtwLAZ69iRgoBIhM04DycMTerzz_n8W2qDRlrzU4kUFa/s1600/DSC_0033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsJMnCrwV1vPjE6YEbmLWoxumuhGYwK986VzO7uBvhYHDQF5M7_KjJD6vol06ioA2P3tFdO6P2ncHHOrq5TJcHfAy6npQpkqsbBtwLAZ69iRgoBIhM04DycMTerzz_n8W2qDRlrzU4kUFa/s400/DSC_0033.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Deck furniture we added includes a table with umbrella to seat 8-10, 4 chairs with cushions, 4 folding chairs, 2 chaise lounges and a small table.
