This blogger is currently enjoying a change of scene, visiting in Connecticut for a week. So far I’ve hit the yarn store and L L Bean and the Men’s Grooming Salon for a much needed haircut for my husband. He rivaled the newly acquired dog Holly. Pictures to follow. 
Not my husband or Holly but a picture of flowing locks to sort of give you the idea. This image is of Lewis Burden, one of my ancestors

Barnes and Noble and Essex await. As if I had to come to Connecticut to visit Barnes and Noble.

Welcome back to New England! You timed your trip well—we finally have great weather.
