Lyme Local

Brian and Jim in the New Hampshire village of Lyme

Catching up with an old friend, and admiring the pollinator garden on a walk around the Common.

Jim saw his high school friend Ann Lipsitt for the first time in 50 years, over lunch at Lou’s restaurant in Hanover. Ann lives 100 miles away near Burlington, Vt.

We were very happy to see each other.

Later in the week, Jim took in the sights on a Sunday walk around the Common. (Brian was back in Louisville.)

Yet more flowers.
Sunflowers galore.

A panoramic of all 27 stalls in the old horse barn.

There’s a museum, too.
