CT: Fairfield County- Pear Tree Point

Spring Forward brings the ability to catch a sunset after work. I anxiously grabbed a sandwich and watched from the gazebo on the point. I may have been a bit premature as several onlookers shivered from the cold with a similar thought. But I was nonetheless inspired by the idea of spring awakening.

CT: Fairfield County: Norwalk- Best Hot Chocolate

As I continued my search for the best hot chocolate in the area, I came across an article about Cafe Social and the number of different flavors of their hot chocolate. I chose the Nutella! It was very beautifully presented and was absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to return on another wintry day and tryContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County: Norwalk- Best Hot Chocolate”

Inspiration: It’s a mad world

I spent a cold winters afternoon at Grace Farms in an inspirational and warm environment. One of their beautiful glass buildings is their library filled with opportunities for growth and insights. I recognized I selected a book which may take me on a journey far away while sitting in New Canaan, CT. Its messages wereContinue reading “Inspiration: It’s a mad world”

Inspiration- Peekaboo Sunset

I made a detour tonight as I saw the sun setting in a clear blue sky in my rear view mirror. I enjoyed playing peekaboo as the sun fell into Westport’s Compo Beach with dozens of cars lining its shores. As my son recently said to me . . . Good call Mom!

CT: Fairfield County- The Goose Bistro & Bar (Winter)

A good friend, a tasty restaurant with good wine and a fireplace is a great find in the winter months.

SitContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- The Goose Bistro & Bar (Winter)”

CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield-Sasco Hill (Winter Sunset)

The wreath otherwise reminded us of December at almost 60 degrees as the sun was setting on the beach. I was surprised by the number of kids driving up to see the sun set all with their cell phones capturing the changing skies. I noticed the difference in the shoreline with several people and birdsContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Fairfield-Sasco Hill (Winter Sunset)”

CT: Fairfield County- Westport PAL Ice Rink

Due to covid the Westport ice rink at Long Shore wasn’t opened last year. I was so happy to find it was again this year. I may have been one of the first on the ice as the few of us there were captured by the local newspaper. One skater out on his own evenContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Westport PAL Ice Rink”

CT- Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach

I usually chase sunsets, rainbows and colorful scenes. I changed it up and chased the storm. It was cool to watch the clouds overcome the moon and the clear skies. The rain chased me from capturing the angry waves, birds skirting the white caps and the leaves forming mini tornadoes. There was a surprising numberContinue reading “CT- Fairfield County- Westport- Compo Beach”
