Black and White Sunday on the Guilford Green

I thought I'd take a break from my Brimfield excursion and do Black and White Sunday about the historical Town of Guilford only a few towns from us along the shore. It was settled in 1639 and boosts the third largest collection of historical homes in New England. This is the very condense version and not really about the historical homes. Sometime I might show you some of them. This is just our own personal version of our short afternoon there and our walk on this beautiful and serene town green.
This is the First Congregational Church built in 1830 and except for the steeple which toppled in the 1938 hurricane the church remains basically the same.


The green is the hub of activity for the town. It is the largest green in Connecticut. It's a great place to people watch and for families to bring their children
Pretty quiet on this day. It was during the week and getting late in the day. It gets dark at 7 now....the only thing I don't like about Fall but there are so many things I do like. The ever changing colors of the trees, harvest time, pumpkins, cider, the smell of cinnamon and spice, and of course Halloween!
The Civil War Memorial
This monument commemorates Guilford residents who gave their lives during the Civil War.


Who was that guy?

when I did this post I had forgotten to title it so I went back and wrote in Black and White Wednesday....when it obviously was B&W Sunday.
I wouldn't have even noticed if Julie hadn't emailed me to tell me. Thanks Julie for waking me up!!!
I have no real excuse...it wasn't even that late at night but I guess working everyday makes you forget what day it is. I do a White Wednesday post most every week too.
Ok...that's enough excuses....
just apoligize and say you're sorry!!!

I'm sorry!
I'm a dumby!
