Autumn in Collinsville, Connecticut

A day in Collinsville, Connecticut 

 

The Farmington River in Collinsville 

Situated along the Farmington River is The Collins Factories from which the town was named, it was the axe factory of the Collins family. The main building now hosts weekend farmers market, and kiosks of  artists, and craftsmen and designers.

It's been a while since my last entry, too many bicycle-less weekends have gone by. No excuses, just me being a sloth. Let me rephrase that more politically correct, there comes a time when one needs to step back and take a break. I think thats what I needed... okay so it's an excuse. Anyway, as the new year rolls forward and with resolutions abound it was time for me to put the pedal to the medal. Well, actually put the skis to the snow. The seasons first snow storm left 20+ inches on the ground, virtually shut down New York City for almost 48 hours. Fahnestock has plenty of snow for me to test my stamina after weeks of being a couch potato.


Somewhere underneath is my neighbors small car.
