Pocketful of Blue

Two years ago, hubby and I went to New Hampshire for our twentieth wedding anniversary.   It was a wonderful trip and this time of year brings back those memories for me. So today I am reminiscing about New England in the fall with some of my  favorite photos from two years ago. ~ The Hancock Inn ~ ~ Old Cemeteries ~ ~ Antique Houses ~ ~ Churches ~ So lucky - we had this gorgeous weather every day. Bye, bye New Hampshire ~ hope to see you again soon! Thank you for joining me on my trip down memory lane ~ JoAnne - joining - BETWEEN NAPS ON THE PORCH ~ MET MONDAY COZY LITTLE HOUSE ~ TWEAK IT TUESDAY SAVVY SOUTHERN STYLE ~ WOW US WEDNESDAY

For the fourth and last post on our trip to New Hampshire, I'm taking us back to Hancock where we started. Hancock is a very small town, more like a village really. Only about 200 residents reside in the main part of the town. THE HISTORIC HANCOCK INN Directly across the street from the Inn is the Hancock Market. A quaint little grocery store ~ just what you would expect in a little New England town. A little further down the street is this pond. The water was like a mirror that day.

The first church in Jaffrey. Hubby is reading this sign about  The Old Burying Ground. ~ as you can see, this stone is from the year 1800 ~ The historic or "Antique" homes have little placques with the year they were built. Do you see the '1790' on the chimney? This adorable house has a sign with the year 1830 right next to the flag. After walking around for awhile, those adirondack chairs looked very inviting. Such a lovely place and again we had picture perfect weather ~ just look at that beautiful blue sky! I hope you can stand one more post about...
