Sculpture Park in the snow
I extended my walk on Saturday to pay a visit to the Sculpture Park. The morning sun and the white snow would provide a nice setting for some good photos. The paths have not been cleared but the snow was hard enough to walk on top of so getting about was okay. The setting was really nice and the photos, well - you can tell me if they are good.
Where is the sculpture park?

Come celebrate Franklin's birthday
The 80 residents whose birthdays fall on March 2 recently received invitations, sent by the town clerk’s office, for a special party at the Historical Museum.
They are to be the guests of honor at a Sunday shindig celebrating their hometown’s 236th birthday.
Everyone is invited to the party, though, which starts at 1 p.m. at the museum, 80 West Central St.
Members of the Historical Commission have been cutting a cake for the town for the past three years, as a way to garner more attention and respect for its long history.

"state regulations include a long list of security measures"
A tall fence equipped with motion sensors will encircle the massive building in Franklin where New England Treatment Access Inc. plans to grow its supply of medical cannabis.
Twenty-four hours a day, six security guards will patrol the Forge Parkway premises, also monitored by infrared cameras.
Employees will pass through a secure checkpoint before beginning the workday. And all of the leftover plant waste they dispose of is to be mixed with rock, wool and paper, then ground to a pulp, making it useless should anyone gain access to the Dumpsters.
"It’s not just for keeping criminals out, but keeping the employees who work for us honest, as well," said the company's executive director Kevin Fisher of the site's layered security.You can read the full article in the Milford Daily News here
