The Berkshires

Three things come to mind when I think of my grandfather and step-grandmother's house in Berkshire County: swimming, mowing the lawn, and climbing huge trees. That's about all I did. I would spend most days either by mowing the lawn or by scaling a 70 foot (roughly 23 meters) white pine across the field, then going for an hour long swim. Obviously we did other things with our cousins, but life was simple, mostly.
