Recuperation journey: Fiery sunset

Since I had been home all day (napping and such) I thought I should get out for a few minutes this evening. 
I was rewarded when I ventured out with this view of an amazing sunset seen from Main Street, Ansonia.

'Turnback Tuesday' features East Derby dwelling

This week's "Turnback Tuesday" features a photo of Andrew Johnson's house. It was built in 1798 on the corner of Bank and Gilbert Streets in Derby. The house was dismantled in 1928 and supposedly relocated to Westchester County, N.Y. 
Johnson was one of Truman Gilbert's business partners, who had established Derby's first lumber yard. Johnson was born in April of 1765, but details of his death are unknown.


Thanks go to Derby Public Library for sharing this interesting local history.

Serene scene in Derby

I found a winter scene this morning at Osbornedale State Park in Derby. The snow is pretty when it doesn't need to be shoveled.
