D'EsoPow! Chrissie D'Esopo's Flower House Avon I view this page two ways. One, it's ridiculous. I can't be driving around the state every June taking drive-by pictures of every house with nice landscaping. C'mon now. Or... it's awesome. Surely I'm highlighting the immense labor and cost put into this place on … [Read more...]
Johnson Pond Falls
My Bolton Tell-All Johnson Pond Falls, Bolton April 2020 Alright, look. These falls don't appear in any guidebook, nor on any list. They don't even have a name - I made up "Johnson Pond Falls."

Brushmill Waterfall & Covered Bridge
Brushmill Waterfall by The Brushmill by the Waterfall Brushmill Waterfall, Chester I can't be the only person that finds the fact that the restaurant here - The Brushmill by the Waterfall - is weird for naming themselves after what is clearly not a real waterfall.
