Gorgeous rooms and the best spa room overlooking a lovely a tranquil pond. There is also a very successful independent book store there known as The Hickory Stick. West Street Grille in Litchfield is a great place for lunch or dinner.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073151845678497860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-59657724773826858752015-09-13T14:31:04.943-07:002015-09-13T14:31:04.943-07:00We are having some late sunshine in the UK but aut...

Rarely do we drive around though, and I would love to. I do hope we get a real fall in Los Angeles - such a hot muggy summer. That Bloomsbury poncho looks amazing, and how wonderful to see Hamilton when you're in NY. Love your tartan dishes!

Longfellow wrote his famous stories there and it harbors a ghost. Henry Ford restored it and hauled Mary's schoolhouse from Mary Had a Little Lamb to just outside the property line. It looks just like Anne Shirley's one room school room from Anne of Green Gables. Across the street is an operating grist mill. The environs contain a small white chapel seen in many New England post cards called Martha Mary Chapel. Ten minutes away is Concord Massachusetts, home to Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House, where she wrote Little Women. You can also tour Nathanial Hawthorn's home. Concord Main St. is charming with petite shops and restaurants. Ten more minutes away is Fruitlands, the Utopian farm and museum. Barns, apple orchards, yarn shops, antiques shops dot the road that leads you through this historical area. By the way, the 1994 film Little Women was made in Deerfield.

Autumn has always been my favorite season and I enjoy every second of it here! For the last few weeks I have been looking longingly into the cedar chest where I keep my sweaters... <br /><br />Woodstock, VT is one of our favorite places and so is Burlington.
