Cranberry Bog Along Route 6A in Sandwich, MA

Cranberry Bog Along Route 6A in Sandwich, MA

Today is Mother's Day, so I asked Nora (my mom) what she would like to do. We decided that we would do what we do every day. Go for s ride and see what there is to see and take pictures that I can put on my Zazzle products. We passed this cranberry bog on Route 6A in Sandwich.

For the past few months, it had been bright red. That confused us because we thought that cranberry bogs should only be red before harvest. However, we noticed during the past few days that the bog was getting greener. This bog is clearly visible from the road. We could see the little wood shack and John Deere tractor. Normally cranberry bogs just sit there and grow. It's rare to see anyone tending them much before harvest.

On the way home, Mom said that hotdogs and potato salad would taste good. So I stopped at the grocery store and picked them up. She lives across the street, so I brought them over to her. We sat outside and ate them. There was a light breeze and it was a beautiful day.
