Recuperation journey: Looking at the sky



I attended a wonderful solo performance by singer/songwriter/guitarist Susan Carson on the Derby Green Thursday night. 
Inclement weather forced the concert to be  rescheduled and unfortunately there were only about a dozen people in attendance to enjoy the variety of music genres Carson played. 
See previous post about her performance.



The sky added to a magical evening of live music, featuring a pastel sunset and a beautiful supermoon. 
Tonight the moon will be 100 percent illuminated, a Full Harvest Moon. 

Singer/songwriter Susan Carson's solo performance rocks Derby Green


Singer/songwriter/guitarist Susan Carson of Stamford gave a wonderful performance Thursday night on the Derby Green. 

The city's final concert of the season was slated for Tuesday but inclement weather rescheduled Carson's appearance. 

The crowd may have been small but those in attendance enjoyed her eclectic mix of music, ranging from Blind Faith and Jefferson Starship to Johnny Cash.

Friends and I told Carson she needs to make a return visit to Derby next year!

Rev. Richard Mansfield House

37 Jewett St., Ansonia
Parking available across the street in the St. Joseph's Church parking lot. Please do not park in the lot of the rectory.

In honor of the Rev. Richard Mansfield's 300th birthday, the Derby Historical Society is inviting you to a sneak peek of his home. 

This historic building, built in 1700 and on the National Register of Historic Places, was purchased by the Derby Historical Society last year. Plans are underway to restore the building and move it to the same lot as the David Humphreys House (37 Elm St., Ansonia) to make it accessible to the public once again.

Join the Reverend, who holds the record for the longest-serving rectorship in the United States (72 years!) for a slice of cake and a peek inside his home.
