Hello Andrea and I have been seeing many posts like yours around the rain and these types of posts have been getting featured. I will have to work on some myself!
VB ;)
Good morning Andrea, great post. One of the best that I have seen. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
All the best. Tim
VB good morning. Yes, get to work on yours! Before your trip!
Tim, why thank you! I appreciate the kind words about my market report. This is a bit different from what I do for a few other towns. I do love Kent, CT. I am a CT transplant, 29 years ago, and the first place I lived was in Kent. My father came for a visit and remembered how many times he had come down to Kent from his school in Lenox MA to play football against Kent School, or South Kent School, I can't remember. It is beautiful there, if you ask the residents they will tell you it is the most beautiful part of CT, and it is hard to argue with them.
Good morning Andrea,
What a wonderful market report on a charming area! I'm sure you will get calls from your depiction of Kent CT!!
Hi Andrea, I can't even begin to remember how many times I would have passed those bulls when making the short cut down from the Ma pike to get to Rt 8. It is pretty country up there, and you are so right about that being part of the 'NY weekend territory'
Dorie, thank you so much! Kent is so beautiful, easy to write about.
Ed, and how about the crows, the cans and the apples! I will have to get up there when the weather is better (and I feel better) and get photos of them. I have old photos when they were in Washington, CT. It is beautiful, isn't it? You take Rt. 7 to 341 up to Litchfield and down Rt. 8 then. What a wonderful drive that is indeed.
Andrea I agree with you that Kent CT is a beautiful area. It borders my area;and in the past it has been an area chosen for a short ride and ice-cream.
Well wriiten report.
Have a great day.
Jennifer, do make sure if you are going to make that short trip again that you call me! We can have ice cream and sit by the bulls!
Oh, what a great community. Many of my buyers come from your area. Let's keep in touch!
Marcia, lets do keep in touch, isn't that funny!
