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!
