Many of you guessed Salem as the destination of my recent travels....I think I threw you off course by mentioning spooky and Halloween! Actually, you were quite close, I was in Rhode Island. Providence, to be exact! One of my co-travelers actually joked that we should go to Salem, which she said would be crazy on Halloween. But Providence was old and spooky enough for me. They even have a Providence Ghost tour! And no, I didn't go on it!
I did not get to see much of Providence other than downtown, it was a quick trip and related to business. What I did see, was quaint, and old. Everything is old there! The architecture of the buildings was especially amazing. I have only been east to NYC, so it was great to see another part of the area.This weekend, my travels include a family celebration. I am hoping to see My Boy tomorrow....I miss him dearly. But alas, weather and travel has kept me from him. I rarely go a week without seeing my pony! Around this time of year, he's probably wishing I'd sell him to someone who lives in a warmer, drier state.....like Hawaii. Here is a picture of me and my pony in sunnier, drier times. Is that a tank top I'm wearing? Sigh.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Don't you and your horse look great in that last shot-yes, alas, the yucky weather is here (lots of mud)- I'm looking forward to some frost and a bit of snow just to 'clean' things up in the pasture!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are,as always.. great.
ReplyDeleteLove the angle you got of the lovely old building.
Yes, the warm summer days we had for riding in tank tops...gone :(
isn't it sad that it's early November and some of us are wishing for summer already? Or at least I'm wishing for it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny.. I would totally have gone on the ghost tour... I am a non-believer but love the atmosphere of those kinds of places.

Yes, I had to pull out the old pink pony rain boots today. they worked like a charm though and I even got a compliment on them. Have a good time playing "photographer". I know you'll do an excellent job!
ReplyDeleteI think that ghost tour sounds like it would have been a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteFunny I just finished reading a book called "The Heretics Daughter" that is set during the Salem Witch Trials! It was actually really quite good. Hope you enjoy the time with your pony:)
ReplyDeleteI knew it was not the former home town of your cousins..that I know you visited recently!!! Look how clever I was not to give it away in case you have a future post about it!!! I leave in the AM for the desert and Jesse...and my little PIG!!! I think she will have ,missed ,me as much as Jesse.!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the last picture of you and your boy--you look like the quintessential Cowgirl!
ReplyDeleteI do like the photo of you and your boy! he probably misses you too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get in some well-deserved pony time today! He will be so glad to see his girl.
ReplyDeleteProvidence, huh? Looks interesting! Glad you had a good time on your trip. Hope you get to see your boy soon.
ReplyDeleteNow I though that Hawaii was one of the wettest states in the US....well maybe not this time of year, but def. in the summer. We sure could use some of your rain. We
ReplyDeleteve only had about 3 good rains all year. Everything is so dry and brown, but I also son't want winter to make up for it by giving us tons of snow either. Where's the balance?
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip to the East Coast and that you get to see some family and your Boy soon.

Oh I love the old architecture of those buildings and houses of that era!!
ReplyDeleteWent to Providence once and had a great time. I would LOVE to go to Salem though, maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture of you and your boy:)
Hey! Providence is quite near to me! I hope you had a rockin time there as that is a city that can really rock!
ReplyDeleteI like the tank top in the sun. Can I be longing for the summer already when winter hasn't actually even dug it's cold claws in yet? Is it because this summer was so wet and cold? Purple tank top? Sigh is right!
I have been missing my horse as well. feel like I haven't seen her in weeks due to my own traveling. Luckily, I am sure she was just fine without me!
Love the architecture in Providence, what a great shot. And that shot of you on your pony, beautiful. That is one glorious sky. I miss those days already. I hate that it's dark within an hour of getting home from work. >:-\
