The Beauty of Nature Around Griswold

Beautiful Views Around the Sunflower Farm

The recent  Sunflowers for Wishes post featured all of the beautiful sunflowers from my visit there last weekend. As I walked around the sunflower farm the views were awesome of other surrounding farms in the town of Griswold.  

You can see it was a beautiful day with blue skies and puffy white clouds. The pretty walls separated many of the farms from one another. It was such a peaceful area to visit.

Griswold, CT was originally owned by the Mohegan Indians and the Colony of Connecticut. In later years it became a mill town. The town is now inhibited by over 15,000 residents.

Have you ever visited Griswold, CT? 

Do you like the views around the sunflowers or do you prefer the sunflowers themselves? 

Red Sky At Night A Sailor's Delight Still?

Do you believe Red Sky at Night is Still a Sailor's Delight?

Do you know who used this in a play many years ago?  And do you know which play it was in?

Did you know the following was said in the bible about red skies? 

"When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering."

We did not have foul weather the following day except for morning fog. 

That could be a problem for sailors.

Some Days The Clouds Don't Go Away

Lately we have lots of rain of some storminess in Southern New England - the last photo is of the city with all the lights on as it was so dark during a fierce thunderstorm.

Gray Day in the Old City

It was a gray day in the city but I had to walk to several places today and found some great city architecture and sights.

Construction work is always happening in the city.

I found this to be ironic in the old architecture - can you see it too?

Beautiful architecture remains throughout the city.

The oldest shopping mall in the United States remains in the city but is now empty.

The Beautiful Reservoir

These photos were taken after a walk yesterday morning

Enjoy the great weather out there today!

Where is This Golf Course?

I really needed to get gas on the way to work yesterday and took another route in. Do you know where this Golf Course is in New England?

Such a pretty view up on the hill.
