Enjoying nature and soaring with the eagles at Fort Hill Farms!

Have you ever been to Fort Hill Farms, in Thompson, CT - it borders and you can see RI and MA from the gorgeous property that is ready for another growing season.

I love the place and feel a sense of peace every time I round the corner and it comes into view.  It is worth the trip, even if you do not live just minutes away from it as I do.

This morning I went to visit the land nearby and stopped to see Fort Hill Farms owner/farmer, Kristin. She is a bundle of energy and so sincere, knowledgeable and fun, that you always go away feeling on top of the world.

I also felt that I was on top of a tree today, since I literally was! I was out to glimpse the eagles that live somewhere in the area, and in my travels I came across this tree stand.

I was petrified!!! I am afraid of heights (mainly the falling part is what scares me!!), but up I went in the wind that felt like it was blowing 100000 miles an hour!

Yikes!!! But I wanted the best chance to see an eagle or two!

There were so many happy crows enjoying the plowed fields....and finally I saw very far off in the distance what I believe were two eagles. It was tough to capture them together, since they were so far away, but I managed to get a picture of this one. (It is blurry because I tried to blow it up so much).

Now, as I sit in my beautiful condo, wondering why in the name of Pete I bought it instead of a house with some property to wander on, I can only thank my lucky stars that there is so much land around me that I can visit!

I leave you with these words:
I climbed cathedral hilltops, I saw silver clouds below,
saw everything as far as I can see.
Now I walk in quiet solitude, the forest and the stream,
seeking grace in every step I take...
I would be a poorer girl, if I never saw an eagle fly..... CT Fort Hilltop high!

I am a Putnamaniac because I love to be outside, and Fort Hill Farms is one of my favorite places!
