The squirrels are certainly busy gathering up every acorn they can to prepare for winter. Here on Main Street, we are also preparing for the potentially harsh New England weather. Our neighbor’s over at the historical Harrison House have several ladders resting upon their exterior, anticipating being climbed by some type of eager handyman. We are not exactly sure what they are doing but what ever it is I’m sure it’s important.
At our studio in the Willis Russell House, the energy is also high. Several work trucks, and a number of men are drilling, sawing and hammering away. We are told they are replacing some rotted wood on the front columns but it sounds like they are building a whole new structure! But please do not confuse this as a complaint. We are more than grateful our landlord cares about the integrity and beauty of this home. It’s the charm and character of these historical homes that put our beloved Branford on the map. Well, it looks like it will be a latte, headphones and
Carly Simon kind of day!
