Pocketful of Blue

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. So calm and beautiful, perfectly reflecting its surroundings. Here is the town burial ground with it's granite stones. Some date back to the very early 1800's. They almost tell the stories of families that lived here. Some are very sad ~ so many young children. This view is from the burial ground looking back up Main Street. The library is only open three days a week so plan your book borrowing needs accordingly.  : } One morning I took a leisurely stroll so I could ad...

One of the towns we drove to while in New Hampshire was Jaffrey. Look how pretty the drive was.  You can see the Monadnock Mountains in the distance. An area of Jaffrey has been established as the Jaffrey Center Historic District. This is the Meeting House which was raised in 1775. It was used for town meetings and church services. 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...

I saw this kitchen on Houzz  recently and I thought it was just so cute and filled with so much character. I hope you enjoy it maybe while drinking  your coffee this morning.

There are many quaint towns in New Hampshire. Peterboro was number one on our list to visit. You see, the first year we were married, hubby went to Peterboro on a business trip.  He thought it was such a cute town and he talked about how much he thought I would like it.  So it seemed appropriate to go there on our 20th anniversary. He was right. I loved it. The quintessential New England town. It was even the inspiration for the town in  Thorton Wilder's play "Our Town". And yes, the weather was this beautiful every day we were there. Perfect. Magical, really. Pretty waterfall. The Peterboro Diner ~ best chocolate milkshakes ever!! I may have had one . . . or two. Peterboro has an area called The Depot with lots of cute shops. I really liked this one ~ Bowerbird & Friends. Twin Elm Farm is an antique store just outside of town. It occupies this house with attached barn ~ HUGE! I spent a...
