Meadow Farm B&B, New Hampshire

   

     The third leg of our journey took us to Meadow Farm Bed and Breakfast in Northwood, NH. Our stay here was a Christmas gift from my sister : ). Northwood turned out to be conveniently located halfway between Chelsea's apartment and our final destination in Maine. It was a peaceful, restful place for Steve and I to have a couple of days to ourselves to read, go for walks, browse antique shops, and spend a quiet day at Parson's beach. Chelsea and the boys drove over one evening and we took a walk down to the lake and then we went into town for pizza. The house has many rooms to explore and places to sit. I brought some rug hooking with me and this turned out to be a nice place to work on that. I really enjoyed soaking in the history of the building and sitting among the antique furnishings. It's a country home and therefore made to be very comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious with Janet's specialty, Bismark, which we had never had before.

A path through the woods takes you to the lake.

Our final, leisurely morning sitting on the dock before we began our short drive to Maine. The lake breeze was refreshing and the scent of pines filled the air.
