Nature Done Wright

   This week's Monday Morning Mystery required a good memory.

   The plank below, with the outline of an egret, was once the lid on the enclosure for the old kiosk in the Celery Farm parking lot on Franklin Turnpike.

   Eight or nine years ago, I was walking toward the lot and saw the town DPW guys bulldozing the old kiosk. I rescued the lid, and it now hangs in my living room.

   The egret cut-out that once graced the lid had been rescued by Lillian Thomas, the unofficial marsh wardenness.  It is now in my basement.

    As you may have guessed, I am fascinated by Celery farm memorabilia. I would love to get some vegetable crate labels from the days when the Celery Farm was a celery farm.

   Some of the labels were for "King Arthur's" brand … short for Arthur Appert, for whom Lake Appert is named.
