Neighborhood walk in Torrington, Part 4

Down the block is Trinity Episcopal. It has an enchanting courtyard and lots of interesting details.

It's impossible to miss the historic Warner Theater on Main Street. It was recently restored, and the sign is wonderfully retro.

Around the corner is St. Francis of Assisi Catholic. We can hear the kids at the nearby school when they have recess.

The St. Francis statue is weird for the fact that the little bird has decided to land on St. Francis's thigh, instead of on say, his arm or hand? It's still a nice statue.

Most of the leaves are now gone, but yesterday was so beautiful I had to bring my camera to work. I've been meaning to get some pictures of the historic buildings around my office, so here they are.

Center Congregational is the closest to my office. The belltower chimes the hour, and plays hymns at noon and 5 PM. I love the turquoise doors!

Wedding Season

The month of September was a bit crazy for us. Our friends Karen and Andrew got married on the 14th in Danbury, Connecticut, and the following weekend my roommate from college married her sweetie Chris outside of Baltimore. Ray was one of Andrew's groomsmen, and I had the privilege of being Angela's matron of honor. Andrew and Karen are on a Mediterranean cruise, and Angela and Chris went to Disney for the honeymoons. Lots of love and best wishes to them both!

Glory Be!

Wow, it took until Labor Day for this thing to bloom, but the flowers are spectacular!

Let's hope the frost holds off for a while.

Labor Day Weekend at the Goshen Fair

Labor Day weekend Ray and I drove up to Goshen, CT for the annual agricultural fair. It was a gorgeous day, with lots of animals, rides, and apple fritters!

I'll be uploading the rest of the photos to my Flickr account.
