Bucolic stretch of the Charles River
Even along such usually depressing stretches as Route 128, fall foliage can be exhilarating, as I appreciated the other day while in a long slowdown on that infamous but economically essential road. There’s one bucolic stretch, near the Charles River, that must look pretty much as it did before Europeans arrived, if you narrow your gaze.
I love the show when the first hard freeze of the season causes so many leaves to fall off the trees in a few hours. But then we have to put up with weeks of shrieking leaf blowers.
