August Vacation Trip (1 of 4)

Wellsboro, PA - Small Town America!

We rented this house for the week.  It was perfect for the 7 of us including an 18 month old.

All around us were other single family homes.  I took this photo for the cloud formation.  My son-in-law called it a cloud rainbow.

We enjoyed the porch.

Including the swing.

We were a short walk to the Main Street and town green.

The center of the green was this fountain featuring Winken, Blinken and Nod.

Wellsboro is the county seat for Tioga County.

Unlike many small towns this one had a thriving downtown.  Our landlord owns this business along Main Street.  There were a variety of shops, restaurants and even a department store.

Here's Sarah playing one of the many pianos along Main Street.

Stay tuned for more of what we did while staying there.

Tomatoes

Back from vacation.  Lots of tomatoes to pick - two big baskets full.

There is a mix of roma, Juliette, Cherokee purple, Goldie, Tasti Lee and some other varieties.

Most of these went into three big bags, sealed and frozen for winter use to make sauce.

There are more to be picked in the days ahead plus the tomato plants which are rapidly dying need to be pulled.

Steeple Missing?

This former church building is in Cornish, NH.  I'm not sure of its history, only its no longer used as a church.  

It is surrounded by an old cemetery.

The mountain in the background is Mt. Ascutney in Vermont.

The structure does look like it needs a spire to complete the steeple.

I love how fences are constructed in NH.  There's a granite column buried in the ground that the picket fence is attached to.
