Seen on my walks around Hartford:
Bridge over the Connecticut River.
High water marks from floods. The one at the top is truly shocking – during the flood in 1936 the water level rose to 37 feet.
Abraham Lincoln meeting Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Daffodils.
The Hartford Club.
A sculpture on Lincoln Financial Sculpture Walk along the Connecticut River – all the sculptures “reflect the life and values of Abraham Lincoln.”
This was taken a couple of weeks ago. Those trees should be full of leaves by now.
Two more blocks.
Another busy day ahead. I hope you have a fabulous Wednesday.
The pictures of Hartford are very good and they allows us a little ‘look see’ into a bit of your world away from home. And, even those pictures are nice – my favorite pics are of your quilt blocks. It’s very hard to compete with such lovely fabric all sewn up in pretty patterns ! Thank you again for sharing with us
That fabric is awfully pretty, Regina! I take no credit for it, I just fell in love with it.
Claudia, I’m loving those quilt blocks! Glad you were able to get out for a walk and enjoy a little bit of Hartford.
No time for walks lately, this was from over a week ago!
Here’s hoping you have a fantastic day! Thanks for the tour around Hartford. Very interesting city! Blocks are looking great.

Thanks Judy! It’s a bit rainy today which I am actually welcoming as it might wet down some of the pollen.
Very nice pictures! Interesting!
Thanks, Diane.
Hi Claudia!! Thanks for the tour of Hartford!! All the pictures are stunning and show off the city very nicely… I have only passed through Hartford, but I am going to stop on my next drive by… and what beautiful weather we are having… just perfect to enjoy a stroll through the city!! Have a nice day – Francine
I’ll have to take some pictures next week at this incredibly old cemetery. It’s amazing.
Thank you for the tour. I really enjoyed it and especially liked the shawl Harriet Beecher Stowe is wearing. Even as a sculpture I want to touch it! :-)
Blessings,
Betsy
That is a pretty shawl, isn’t it?
Thanks for the chat today, it helped. Love you,
M
Love you, too, sister.
Beautiful scenery..I would enjoy seeing all of the sculptures..My Mother’s one brother drowned in the flood of 1936..He was the only casualty here..Pretty patches!
Oh, what a tragedy! But if the water rose that high, I’m amazed there weren’t more lives lost.
Lovely walk and sights!!
Thank you, Suzan.
Nice pics…thanks for the tour! You have a great Wednesday too! ;)
It’s going to be rainy for the next few days, but I’ll try and get out next week and take some more pictures, Donna.
If you get a few hours off, try to get over to the Mark Twain homestead. Harriet Beecher Stowe lived right next door and that is open for tours also. Well worth the time if you can squeeze it in.
What beautiful sculpture pieces. Hartford looks like a beautiful city. Your quilt will be beautiful, love the fabric. xo
So green! Thanks for sharing the sites of Hartford. Looks like a great place to visit.
Great work on your blocks. It’s coming together. We just booked our holiday for the end of June, beginning of July and the cottage owners sent a note that the sewing machine will be on the kitchen table for when we arrive so I can do another quilt! I love them. She quilts and has been such a lovely mentor for me. Looking forward to making my own blocks soon.
