THINK SUMMER

So far here in Macedon, the new year has been COLD. Some of us have been complaining when we have to put on countless layers and various items of clothing in order to safely stick our noses out the front door.  And when we return from the cold outside into our warm homes and offices, it seems like it takes forever to get thawed out. However, relief is available--right here in the Bullis Room, between the covers of books on gardening and travel. One book on the latter subject that we highly recommend is:

Our summer retreats: 

a handbook to all the chief waterfalls, 

springs, mountain and sea side resorts

and other places of interest in the United States

 (with views taken from sketches by Washington Friend, Esq., and from photographs)

This book was published in 1859 by T. Nelson & Sons in New York. It's full of colored illustrations and plates that will fill your head full of warmer times to come, when the "livin'" will be easier.  And when you're out in the harsh winter weather, perhaps a few of those images will also serve to keep you a bit warmer. We invite you to stop by the Bullis Room and "think summer."
