Biology & Geology This is a big page with lots of stuff. Outdoor stuff. You won't find nature or Audubon centers here, as they are on the massive museums list. I'll let you sort out whatever else you're looking for. Jump to Animals (Aquaria, Zoos, Wild Animals, etc.) Jump to Plants (Trees, Plants, & Gardens) … [Read more...]
Toggy the Two-Headed Goat (Gone)
The G.O.A.T. Riverview Farms, Glastonbury I believe ol' Toggy has been removed. How awesome is this? It's Toggy, the two-headed goat! She was born on January 21, 2008, right in the room we were standing in! Just a genetic abnormality, Toggy had two spines too, but only one set of organs. I think it was … [Read more...]
Lost Ruby Farm
Ruby Saturday Lost Ruby Farm, Norfolk April 2014 A few days after my younger son's third birthday, I took him and his brother out to the polar vortex of Connecticut. As my gift to him. A hike through Campbell Falls State Park to check out one of our state's finest waterfalls (that happens to be in Massachusetts), … [Read more...]
Aussakita Acres Farm
Happier Than a Pig... Aussakita Acres Farm, Manchester October 2020 The town of Manchester continues to fascinate me. I lived there for several years in the 1990's and while I thought it was fine, if you'd told me that 20 years later I'd find so much to do there I'd have called you crazy. From trails to museums, … [Read more...]

Chrissie D’Esopo’s Flower House
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." But since I'm divulging everything I know about the town, this is my Bolton tell-all. They tumble from Johnson Pond at … [Read more...]
Griffin Cascades
Merritts a Quick Look Griffin Cascades/Merritt Preserve, Bloomfield May 2020 You won't believe this - and you shouldn't believe this - but it took me maybe three trips to finally get these two pictures of the Griffin Cascades. Mostly because I never really cared to get a stellar picture. And also because it is … [Read more...]
Still River Cascades
What a Dumb Name for a River Still River Cascades Winchester (Winsted) Seriously, "Still River?" That literally makes no sense. Especially when we're talking about some roarin' cascade action up in here. Just look at these bad boys: Oooh yeahhhh... The Still River is a medium-sized stream which rises … [Read more...]
