It was such a nice day and we wanted to try getting to Philadelphia via Amtrak train from Lancaster. The train took us to the 30th Street Station and we took the SEPTA subway from there.
The Christ Church Burial Grounds were located right next door to the US Mint so we just had to go for a stroll. Several signers of the Constitution are burried there most notably Benjamin Franklin.
The Old Franklin Schoolhouse, an old one room schoolhouse, which was built in 1807, served as Metuchen borough’s first school until about 1870, when it became a private home and gradually fell into disrepair. The Borough Improvement League took possession of the building in 1906 and has been responsible for upkeep since that time.

Boston is a lovely American city located on Massachusetts Bay and the Atlantic Coast in eastern Massachusetts. It is the largest city in New England and the capital city of its state. It serves as the seat of Suffolk County.
Six or more months ago the small group of birds numbered five. Only four have been sticking together since sometime in December or early January. Since there is a major city street not far away and they sometimes loiter near the curb or even in the road, it is surprising the (sometimes distracted or simply impatient) drivers have not killed them by now. And coyotes are around the city, too. About 24 after this Sunday afternoon snapshot they were again on the same lawn, either returning after a night roosting someplace else, or there continuously. A small dog resides in the house, but apparently the birds do not provoke the canine.
One story credits Benjamin Franklin as nominating this bird as the national symbol. It looks less fierce than the current raptor, but by his reckoning the wild turkey (Meleagris Gallopavo) is a much nobler and smarter bird, both highly resourceful and a speedy flyer in forested lands. Certainly in bright light the plumage is impressive: muted but made of rich tones and shades.
