Until next year ...

After a nearly 3 week sit outside of Newport RI, we are now back in the beach house in Saco (yes it is still there)..

We will continue housesitting and may already have a few opportunities, a couple of quaint cottages in Newport.

So, we must now sign off for this season, until next year we remain "the Baron and Baroness".

Doors of Wickford

Wickford RI is about a 10 minute drive from where we are right now. It is an old waterfront town that was prominent in its day... which would have been around 1790-1820 ish given the historic markers in the houses. It was settled in 1637  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickford,_Rhode_Island and has a rich history.

A walk around town is basically a walk through an old New England village.

I chose to take shots of the doors and a couple of windows.

Home is -- back on New England shores

We are now sitting in North Kingstown RI which is close to South Kingstown. But Kingston and West Kingston are between North Kingstown and South Kingstown... yes I am spelling all these correctly. Kingston is a village within South Kingstown. - right! and confusing

We are real close to Newport RI which we intend to visit shortly.

Recently, because Alicia was off gallivanting, I spent some time exploring and found Point Judith and Point Judith beach... what did I find? -- Stacked Stones.  and the first thing that I recalled was Justin and Corey stacking stones in Frisco.

Well this beach was a mother lode for stones and it seems that over time, anyone who visited - built something... a simple stack, a complex stack, a mound or even some art!

Here's a taste:

First thing I noticed -- some small stacks -- hard to see

Then some nicely built stacks

Lots of them

Again, hard to see, but stacks and mounds everywhere.

Hmmm -- rock art!

Woof

What noise do turtles make?
