I may swear at the typical dreary spring weather or long winters we get here in New England, but in truth the list of what I love is far longer than the issues I complain about. The old stone walls and foundations and quarries, etc. are among my favorites. Houses dating back as far as the 1600’s are a treasure too. Many 1700 and 1800’s houses are fully functional and the history present because of them is something I would miss terribly if I were to move away from the area.
We’re on our third day of dreary rain, but it’s good for the newly planted things outside and the trees who are pushing out their spring leaves and flowers. The guy and I took a ride over the river -just because- yesterday, traveling back country roads we have not paid much attention to before. We both love exploring areas not far from home to discover hidden gems like one. I was standing on a bridge crossing a river as I took this picture of a lovely 1800’s home… what a beautiful spot to come home to, no?
