Blogger friend Sue from Idyll Haven managed to get out of her house on Sunday for a short drive around Wethersfield. Roads have been plowed, but the snow banks are narrowing the road beds and making driving treacherous.
Sue took a photo of the Silas Robbins House, a marvelous bed and breakfast that I featured in August 2012, including the photo below. Check out how high on the fence the snow sits, and notice that they have a LOT more snow to remove before the driveway, sidewalk and front walkway are open. Thanks again, Sue. (Sue's most recent post tells an amusing story of dealing with the storm and has lots of photos.)
I will show some interior photos of Silas Robbins House in a while.
Wow! Beautiful with or without snow...like a film set. I love that you share a fellow blogger's photos here. Terrific.
ReplyDeleteClassy place.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous house that has literally risen from the ashes after being almost completely destroyed by fire in 1996. I've linked a picture from that fire here:

I much prefer the summer view and am more than ready to see it again.
The Silas Robbins house has endured plenty of snowstorms throughout the years. At least this is one blizzared you don't have to shovel your way through.
ReplyDeleteYou have the technique for posting from New England in the winter worked out well. Do it from Florida using a friend's photos when there is a big snowfall.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous house and these pictures are excellent!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Despite the inconveniences, the snow certainly lends a beauty to that house and its surroundings!
ReplyDeleteI must say it makes a beautiful view with all that white trim on this grand old house. But, I consider myself lucky that I can enjoy the photos without having to deal with the work and cold.
ReplyDeleteGosh Jack, The Silas Robbins house is pretty special whatever the weather conditions! Sue is doing a grand job guesting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place, regardless of the season! I do remember being impressed with its beauty in your earlier photos! That is a LOT of snow, however!! I think I would prefer to visit in the summer! Have a great week and enjoy your Florida sunshine!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your blogger friend Sue was willing to let you share this beautiful photo. I agree with others it is an amazing looking home in any season. I look forward to seeing inside this fantastic home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful house, with snow even better.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! But I am still sore from shoveling so will vote for the fair weather shot.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely in the winter!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful in its own right, in every season!
ReplyDeleteWe can easily see that the beauty of this building is not due to the season...
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight Jack to see the snow dropping off the eaves .... Beautiful! I'll look forward to seeing the interior.
ReplyDeleteEither way it is a gorgeous structure...
ReplyDeleteIt sure does look different in winter!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful house. I like all of the windows.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous place!!!
ReplyDeleteThe snow adds an additional decorative touch to this already decorative Victorian house.
ReplyDeletewhat a fancy house!
ReplyDeleteso nice, the snow!! :D
A beautiful place in any season. Were I to be snowed in anywhere I think this spot would top the list. A window seat with a nice pot of tea would suit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous house, no matter the weather!! I like your serie about snow pics by guests, that's funny and interesting!
ReplyDeleteRemarkable in the snow and that daylight.
ReplyDeleteA lovely mansion in any weather but the snowed-in version blew me away!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous house... in every season! :-)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful house; kudos to Sue for getting out in that weather!
