A few weekends ago, my mom and I headed up to The Wayside Inn, in Sudbury, Massachusetts-- the same Wayside Inn that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote about in his famous Tales of a Wayside Inn. We were there for the Sudbury Colonial Faire, a fife and drum muster that also has a full-blown colonial gathering with period-appropriate dancing, food, and crafts.

There was also a reenactment of a Revolutionary War skirmish-- it was pretty intense. I was standing near a little boy and his dad, and the father kept trying to explain what was happening in a historically unbiased manner, which doesn't necessarily compute with a four-year-old who's used to having clearly defined 'good guys' and 'bad guys.'
I really like weathervanes-- there were some beautiful ones around The Wayside Inn. This one was on top of a church.

I love old stone walls-- I love imagining how many people in different time periods touched this one as they were out for a walk in the woods.

This is one of my favorite weathervanes ever-- simple and clean and pretty.

Ah I too love old stone walls, I think that it would be a pain to build one but so worth it (well, it may have to be visible from a window or two to really be worth it). Truly lovely photos! I haven't seen much of Eastern Mass (other than Boston) really only Western. When I lived in Northampton I loved getting to visit the Berkshires, especially the Hancock Shaker Village (and if we are as similar as I think we are, you would LOVE it). You have definitely made me miss the New England!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the compliments on the photos, I'm so glad you like them. I googled the Hancock Shaker Village and it looks like such a beautiful and interesting place! That round stone building is gorgeous. I hope you get to see New England again soon!
DeleteI'm going to pull up this post with your gorgeous photos the next time anyone asks me why I never want to move out of New England.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet, thank you so much! It's such a beautiful place-- I was just lucky enough to be there with a camera.
