CT: Fairfield County- Stamford Nature Center

I feel fortunate to have the Stamford Museum and Nature Center near me but it’s one of those places that’s certainly worth the drive if I weren’t. The property is very well maintained and the animals are too! So lovely to see them about in such comforting surroundings. While they offer many activities for kids,Continue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Stamford Nature Center”

CT: New Haven County- Meriden- Castle Craig

A 72 degree day in late October in CT and the full harvest moon is to rise on a clear night at a reasonable time. There’s so much to be done – work, cooking, cleaning and a list of to dos.

Sasco beach in FairfieldContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County- Sasco Hill Beach (Sunset)”

CT: Fairfield County-Cove Island Park (Sunrise)

A great thing about the Fall is sunrise occurs at a more manageable hour for me. But . . . I live about 1/2 hour from the shore. I have my first meeting at 8am I’m not quite sure if the sun will appear through the morning clouds. But . . . The clouds mayContinue reading “CT: Fairfield County-Cove Island Park (Sunrise)”
