We don’t often see reflections in the bog, but this is the week for that. Some of you may recognize the Eldred name on the tank – there’s an Eldred Circle nearby, so I’m guessing the Eldreds were long-time locals and were connected to the cranberry bog in some way. Anyone know?
After the berries are rounded up from the bog, they go into a chute to this truck, and they’re blasted with water to clean them and to separate out the occasional twig. I never saw this before.
Fifty-one weeks a year this is just an interesting building on the shore of Wing Pond. But one week in October, the doors are open, the pump is pumping, and the water flows from the pond to the bog to start the cranberry harvest.
So you just never know what you’re going to see! I was taking a super nice walk at the far end of Chappy Beach today when I heard the sound of an engine approaching. Looked up, this is what was coming down the beach. A crazy guy playing Wilbur and Orville…
There was something for everyone this morning in North Falmouth: the annual Pumpkin Day at Bourne Farm; a Zooma half marathon starting and ending at The Seacrest; and just in case you needed something quieter but no less exciting, the stripers were running in the channel at Old Silver Beach!
