A New Hamsphire Snapshot & A Writer's Apologia

September is now upon us. 
Procrastination had set in. 
Writer's block has foiled me--
despite looming publication and symposia deadlines. 

It has been a truly fabulous summer in northern New England, one worth savoring as much as possible. 
Below find a personal scrapbook of vernacular Federal architecture; newly "discovered" manuscripts and textiles; auction finds and views of the Connecticut River Valley as it winds along River Road in Lyme and Orford, NH.
