Hurtling down hillsides at full speed, she’s been thrown off her mountain bike more than once.

She has landed face first, and been broken and bruised.

It’s an non-traditional view of a 64-year-old woman, but Jan Lindsay wouldn’t have it any other way.

“It occurred to me that, as a 60-something-year-old woman, I seemed to be disappearing from this culture’s conversation,” she said.

Photos: Wharf readied for winter

By Coco McCabe

Summer’s really over now: A crew from the Department of Public Works was at the wharf this morning hoisting the docks from the water and stacking them at the back of the parking area.

A flood tide helped, but it was still a time-consuming job.

Hello, you (and some dramatic shots of storm clouds leaving town)

Hello, you (and some dramatic shots of storm clouds leaving town)

By Coco McCabe

I was passing by Appleton Farm on Waldingfield Road today just as the weather was changing from all that gloomy rain and fog to blue sky and sunshine.

Stop and visit the community garden

It’s tomato time at the community garden across the street from Our Lady of Hope Church, and for growers like Joe Carlin that means dining on the plump red fruit at every meal—even breakfast. Diced, drizzled with a little olive oil, and sprinkled with salt and pepper, tomatoes are an enviable way to start the day, Carlin said.

Photo essay: Football practice in the rain

Photo essay: Football practice in the rain

Words and photos by Coco McCabe

I was driving by Town Hall early this evening and noticed a bunch of shiny orange helmets bobbing on the field in the gloom: It turns out it was the Ipswich-Triton seventh and eighth grade youth football team having its first practice of the season.

The coaches were putting the boys through a variety of drills that included some fast pivots and running yards.
