Yes, most of the buildings do ring the common. The house Meadowbrook is just down the road, however, and special to me as I lived in an apartment on the top floor of the colonial as a young teacher. 😉
Oh, lovely! That is definitely a first snow, which we have yet to get. Do the buildings ring the common?

Classic New England. What a beautiful place to live.
Beautiful photos. I am so envious–it’s dry and warm here. 🙁
I’m sure the snow will be in your area soon! 😉
I hope so.
These are absolutely lovely. Snow is a rarity for me. The snow really does seem to suit the gorgeous architecture.
Thank you. I lived in this town for many years, so it is special to me.
