We took a bike ride in New Hampshire yesterday, about 7 miles off road over hills that were like mountains, but it was alot of fun - really it was! T had done this ride before and remembered it as being very picturesque, we were in a little town called Harrisberg, which really is a beautiful little town with a general store and some restored mills.
But, I like pictures of the unusual also, and this was the first house that I saw. Seems to be missing a chunk doesn't it? And rather abandoned which is too bad, it's a beauty overall - or could be.
We took off and after the first hill, I took this picture. It was a grey day, but the view was wonderful and it was nice to be riding out of direct sunlight.
T remembered that at the top of the hill there was a great dairy farm, and he knows how much I love beautiful well kept farms - they just make me happy for some reason. So we got to the top of the hill and this face started at me, from a totally overgrown field, wild as can be. NH wildlife (don't get mad Suki!) 
Here is my road warrior staring at the farm. Why is he staring.....
Here's why - the beautiful farmhouse had gone to rack and ruin - but the ramshakle barn had a new tin roof. I think they moved house, T thinks that there was a great tragedy in their lives and they still lived in the house like Miss Havisham. Who knows. New Hampshire-ites are known for their independent natures and most anything goes. 
We stopped at this lake for lunch, where I collapsed and demanded help up the next hill. I got it! 
Finally back to the Harrisburg General store, which is wonderful, in a great building and you can sit on the porch and sip your soda-pop and watch the world go by. 
This is Dublin NH's old school house, now a historical society building. I have a thing for classic architecture, and just had to take this picture - the house lines just satisfy something in me. They just feel right - do you agree?
