Huntington Street Cafe
Stopped at the Huntington Street Cafe in Shelton the other day. Clearly one of the best coffee shops in Connecticut. And they serve steamed cheeseburgers! Delicious.

Shelton Lakes Recreation Trail
Biked the Shelton Lakes Recreation Trail today. It goes from Route 108 right outside of the downtown, all the way to Huntington village. It's mostly gravel, which makes for difficult uphills, and there are quite a number, since the trail pretty much goes over the White Hills.
Check out this hanging tree, which rotted away in the grip of a grape vine. But the vine is still hanging on to the tree. Two big pieces are suspended above the forest floor. Fascinating.

Margarita Summer
It's time for tequila-based drinks again. And the best ones are the ones we make ourselves. Get out the blenders, everyone!

With Bill Ectric
Had a visit from author Bill Ectric last week - what a great, down-to-earth guy. And considering the fantastic nature of his fiction, that's a wonder. Get yourself a copy of his novel, Tamper, which I reviewed when it first came out.

Hempstead Houses, New London
Sometime make sure you check out the Hempstead House(s) in New London. The big wooden one above was built in the amazing early date of 1678, and both survived the burning of New London by Benedict Arnold.
