James Property

November 3, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Jamesy-Pie Simsbury Land Trust's James Property, Simsbury October 2015 My younger son Calvin has a friend named James and he calls him Jamesy-Pie for some reason that no one can explain.

There's no Farm Here Eastfield Farms, East Granby April 2019 This is a Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy property. I wasn’t expecting much here.

Bolton Land Trust Trails
