Cozy Autumn in 1664






Oh happy times as I dream of The House of the Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts or even the oldest house in Salem, which was built in 1664, known as the Pickman House.

Welcome to my kitchen friends. The candle is lit and the teapot is simmering.

  4. Oooh, I love those houses! I am so envious of those who get to live daily in places so rich in history and beauty, although the prairie has its highpoints too. I would love to have a kitchen hearth...how cozy...with a corgi napping nearby of course!~

  5. Ah, Salem! I love it there. We pass through it frequently on our way to other places north of there.

    It is so beautiful in Southern New England right now. The autumn foliage is peaking here, but we have much raking to do this weekend. Yesterday I made the first casserole of the season. Autumn is just the best!

  6. Oh...and what shall we be enjoying from your hearth? Oh I see that dear Susan has asked that and you have answered it...Shepard's Pie and Apple Tansy, how wonderful, I shall draw my chair near the fire and join all of you. What a lovely time we shall have.

    Hugs,
