Last winter in the Pequot Colony❤️

This French Second Empire “cottage,” built in 1878, always looks pretty, but it I think it’s especially gorgeous in the snow❄️

Btw, there’s a post about the Pequot Colony on TSOC if you’re ever in New London and feel like taking a self-guided walking tour of a historic neighborhood. You can find it at the link in my bio - just type “Pequot Colony” in the search function on the site.

Happy December! Yesterday I was so cold I bought a coffee, drank it as I walked, then went into another coffee shop and bought another coffee. And it’s not even technically winter yet😂❄️ #thesizeofconnecticut

Why is Chaplin so cute? I’m glad you asked, because there’s a reason! The town was settled beginning around 1815, and the buildings in the town center (what would later become the Chaplin Historic District) were all constructed within a short period of time. Chaplin had everything a rural Connecticutian could want in the early 19th century: a church, a tavern, a store, and so on, in addition to a number of lovely houses. These were built in Federal, Greek Revival, and Georgian styles, giving a specific charm and cohesion to the pleasantly curved main road, called Chaplin Street. A hundred years later, when a state highway (Route 198) was constructed, it was laid out in a straight line, just bypassing the center of Chaplin and preserving the district in all its adorableness to this day. The next time you’re in the area, take the turn off 198 onto Chaplin Street, and follow the curving path back in time. #thesizeofconnecticut

Happy Thanksgiving!

Who remembers this little duckling (turkling? turduckenling?) from last fall? It’s from Essex Duck in Essex and I think it’s so cute, I couldn’t resist posting it this year too. Wishing you a safe, happy, delicious day tomorrow! #thesizeofconnecticut

Anyone else feel like Thanksgiving really snuck up on us this year? Are you ready? I’m not, but I don’t really have a functioning kitchen yet so I think I have an excuse🙃
