This photo was taken at Lyman Orchards, in Connecticut.  Abby & her parents went on a very long (10-month) trip to Connecticut from 8/01-6/02, so that her Daddy could go to Yale Law School & her Mommy could be on Òsabbatical.Ó  Abby had many great adventures in Connecticut, including navigating the Òcorn maizeÓ (a Labyrinth made of corn plants) with Papa at Lyman Orchards.  Abby went to a Montessori school in Woodbridge, Connecticut where she learned some new works and made some new friends (e.g. Alexander Tellides), but she missed her Purple Room friends and CMS pretty much.  In Connecticut, Abby also missed being close to her Auntie Ruth, who lives in Cambridge.  When we came back in the Summer of 2001 (after ending MommyÕs sabbatical in Italy, see later photo), Abby went to the Shady Hill Camp, which she enjoyed tremendously.  Then, she came back to the Purple Room.
