240. Gore House - Romantic spot

Today, in a different location, I will be participating in the wedding of

the bantering bookworm and Sir Ishmael.

I wish them happiness, and to always be able to find a few moments to enjoy romantic spots and quiet moments like the one below.




And yes, if you were wondering, Gore House does host weddings.

June was terribly rainy in Massachusetts. This was one of the little joys I found.

It should be noted that Harry and the Potters is playing at Gore House TOMORROW July 12th, 3pm. Tickets are $10. Stop by and enjoy some wizard rock. (This was particularly amusing to me as I went to college with one of the band members.)

Here is the fallow farm land...

229. Gore House

Gore House was the farm of former Massachusetts governor, Christopher Gore. The owner of the "Monticello of the North" served as govenor in the early 1800s.




Gore house is located in Waltham, not far from Watertown , which is home to the Perkins School for the Blind. I've noticed more braille in the metro-west area, probably because of Perkins. It still makes me very happy to see.

228. Gated community

This gate just on the edge of Stonehurst, leads to a conservancy area. It struck me as odd and beautiful in the middle of the woods.

On to Gore House!

This flat rock and deep knell makes me think of glaciers sliding across the earth.

226. Purple mountain's majesty...

While not a mountain per se, this wide green space reminds we what is beautiful in the United States. Happy 4th of July.

217. Stonehurst

In the town of Waltham, MA, there is a place called Stonehurst. On a recent rainy day I visited this historic house, as well as Gore House, also in Waltham.
