springtime

I think spring has finally arrived!

It's so wonderful to go outside and feel the sun on my face.

I hope the weather is gorgeous where you are, too!

the wayside inn

     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.

the man of the hour himself

uh-oh.

     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.

this little pathway looked completely untouched by time, it was like something out of a fairytale.

did I mention that there were a lot of guys firing muskets?  well, there were a whole lot of guys firing a whole lot of muskets.

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.

these golden berries were growing everywhere.

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

heading to the parade-- I've gotta hand it to this guy for marching barefoot, because it was not a warm day.

I hope you've enjoyed a peek into my trip to The Wayside Inn!
