On an early-morning cross-country skiing trek through the Silver Hill bog on Saturday morning, Tricia Deck photographed ice crystals that formed overnight on grasses and twigs. The sun melted then soon thereafter, and Sunday’s rain changed the landscape yet again.

About 25 years ago, the late President George H.W. Bush was in town to visit with his sister, Lincoln resident Nancy Bush Ellis, before they all went to a family wedding in the Berkshires. The Bushes went out for a walk and came upon a T-ball game on the playground of the Lincoln School. One of the players was the son of current Lincoln resident Fred Hopengarten (second from left). Bush asked if he could join and play some ball. “After a while, his wife Barbara and sister (right rear) tired of watching George play baseball and announced that they were going back to Nancy’s house,” Fred recalls. “Bush replied that he thought he’d like to stay a while and play some more. This made their Secret Service agent jump into action, as he couldn’t divide himself and be with both. Moments later, another Secret Service agent came running through the woods to escort Barbara and Nancy. So how long did the President stay and play ball? “As long as he chose to do so. You don’t say no to George Bush.” Photo courtesy Fred Hopengarten
