Linda, you went to all my favorite places, Essex/Chester and Mystic! I live about 50 minutes away from Essex, in a small town just outside New Haven. I loved this so much, because I go for the day only, I have never seen the rooms in the Inns. Your gardens are gorgeous, that is a lot of work you did, especially all the edging! My favorite part, of course, is Willow with her head on your lap, precious! 💗

Hi Linda, I am a new subscriber. I love, love your channel and we could be sisters from another mother not just kindred spirits. How I wish I lived where you live. New England is just beautiful. I hope to visit and vacation soon. I'll be retired at the end of this year, God willing, and New England is on the top of my vacation list. I purchased Peonies for the first time here in Southern California. I can't believe how magnificent they are. I finally went to the shop where they sell them at just the right time. Your gardens and home are beautiful. Thank you for taking us on your getaways. My home decor and furnishings are also 90% thrifted or gifted. I hope to secure one of your season/holiday boxes this year. I'm on to your website.

Hi Linda! Absolutely my most favorite video. I could not take my eyes off the screen. Connecticut is so enchanting and the homes are so gorgeous! I recently relocated from Maryland back to my hometown in Oregon. Its lush and green here in Oregon but nothing compares to the East coast style of living. I brought the east coast to Oregon with the candles in my windows to Hydrangeas in the garden .I plan to re-watch this beautiful video over again it was absolutely the best.
