The view from my door, going out to explore! It's extremely suburban where we are. People walk their dogs every night at dusk. In the summertime (and at Halloween) our small streets are often full of people walking.
Main St, USA. This is the "downtown" part of our neighboring town, which is a bit bigger.
Our town is right on a train line -- we are in a little whistle stop town! Now, people just take the highway that runs almost right along the train tracks, and the train is mostly used for freight. But we hear the whistle a couple of times each day. The town is doing a reconstruction project on this caboose, and letting people go inside to see how they used to look.
This was the old train station, now there are little concerts and Christmas celebrations here. They've made a tiny ampitheatre outside nearby.
A local "downtown" diner. I hope you guys in Boston are enjoying your sandwiches, because apparently, they are famous.
We have been going to a Quaker church, and last week we held some signs with them after the meeting. This area is historically Quaker! I don't really believe that seeing a sign will change anybody's mind, but I need to be a go- getter if I'm going to meet people, and I was curious about how people would react. I was really surprised at how many people waved and honked, and were positive toward us. No one was mean. (They held up thumbs, not fingers, Moens!) A lot of young people were positive, but really it was mostly the older crowd who were vocal about it. Anyway, we think we might like this church. We like the silent time and the sharing that they do in the Quaker service.
This is a random snapshot, less than 10 miles from our house. It's made of logs, and there is a shed behind it with a tin roof. This is really pretty country.
