That’s the Lynde Point Lighthouse, one of two on the western side of the mouth of the CT River.

The view to the north, while standing near the center of this wonderful little town, population 627. Despite its size, there are two markets, a library, two churches, and the grande dame of the place, the Grafton Inn and Tavern.

Lest we forget all the manual labor that goes into farming: a pile of sawdust (bedding for the cows), four shovels and three wheelbarrows, two of them double tired. And then there’s the color of this barn – gotta love it!!!

A week or so ago, there were a couple of warm days here, and not coincidentally, a fog bank that settled in for nearly the whole time (see two posts below also).
The owners of this cottage, Laurie and Eric, were out on a nearby beach looking for sea glass when I pulled over to take a few photographs. It turns out this was their actual home for a year while a larger structure elsewhere on the property was being renovated, and that living there “..was one of the happiest years of our lives”. We talked about simplicity, and I mentioned Henry David Thoreau, who wrote from Walden Pond: “I had three pieces of limestone on my desk, but I was terrified to find that they required to be dusted daily, when the furniture of my mind was all undusted still, and threw them out the window in disgust.”
We truly don’t need much.
