j'aime bien ces vieilles maisons toute en bois, elle est tres belle
It and its surroundings have the appearance of a Wyeth painting. I'd half expect Christina to be there!
That looks like a cool place to spend the summer in New England!
I stmbled upon it several years ago. I live nearby but was never sure exaclty where it was located. It was quite a "shock" to realize where I was at the time.
On my list... Thanks!
