1. The weather. I anticipated snow, but apparently Connecticut is having an unnaturally warm December. Nevertheless, I love the cold weather. Unlike the typical Texan, Conneticuters are always prepared for snowfall.
I learned that this intimidating massive contraption is a snowblower.
2. Holiday Decor. No tangly lights or oversized blowup Santas. Just simplicity and elegance.
(The owner of the house was pulling into her driveway as I snapped this one. That was awkward.)
This is the Flower Bridge in Simsbury.
which brings me to...
3. Colonial-style Houses! So adorable but very expensive. I had a hard time choosing the top four.
(Continuing the holiday theme with TEN wreaths.)
This one has a balcony over the door!
4. Mom-and-Pop places.
Like coffee shops with a little living room and books on shelves.
Or stores that sell un-pasturized local milk.
And pizza places with yummy eggplant fries. :)
Tomorrow, I'm headed to Rhode Island!
aww yes Simsbury is very quaint and peaceful! And I went to Joe's Pizza last time I was there! It's so yummy! Glad you are enjoying your visit! Rhode Island sounds fun too! :) Can't wait to hear about it!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's unusually warm here in Atlanta too. I went swimming in an outdoor pool today....on December 15. I mean, it was extremely cold but the weather in general is awesome this year. #EastCoastMagic
ReplyDeleteDanielle - I saw your grandparents' house!
ReplyDeleteChris - Swimming?! That's awesome! Also, I didn't know Atlanta was considered East Coast.
