Yesterday was too cold and snow-laden to engage in my favorite pastime of walking through the woods with no particular destination in mind. But I did drive by this well-connected local landmark, which is known as “The Red House” around here.
The place always looks patriotic (or at least historic) when it is sitting in white snow under a blue sky. And, it looks appropriate for cold weather, which is why New Englanders decided to have houses connected to barns and other utilitarian spaces. Of course, you’re more likely to find a car and a truck in the barn today than you are a couple of cows. (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on January 18, 2024.)
