I am not sure when it was built, but a sign at the site reads, "This twin arch structure, built without mortar and sustained solely by expert shaping of its archstones, is typical of a unique style of bridge construction employed primarily in the Contoocook River Valley [of NH] in the first half of the 19th century." That's old -- and the bridges are still so beautiful!Mrs.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392321745556290343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-15019348282786681382017-10-09T08:30:57.618-04:002017-10-09T08:30:57.618-04:00yes i grew up in a village where valley was surrou...yes i grew up in a village where valley was surrounded by lashing hills and stream flowed by while singing sweet dreamful songs!<br />my grandparents had two cows and many goats and lots of hens .<br />these are precious memories !<br /><br />bailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498012175058870980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-35214205856281033022017-10-05T20:05:31.561-04:002017-10-05T20:05:31.561-04:00It was a wonderful time indeed!

LOL I'm at the point now where I really would like to move out towards the country. It doesn't have to be a farm because I'm allergic to hard work (Haha) but we're so overcrowded here I'd like some peace and quiet. I love that picture of you and your pumpkin! It sounds like growing up next to your grandparent's farm was an absolute blast. :) Have a great day!Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-78131689693533687742017-10-04T08:33:50.133-04:002017-10-04T08:33:50.133-04:00Lovely photos you have shared, I also enjoyed your...Lovely photos you have shared, I also enjoyed your thoughts especially your memories of your grandparent"s farm<br />Blessings,<br /> SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15265988.post-60461808870184589522017-10-04T08:19:52.180-04:002017-10-04T08:19:52.180-04:00I'm with you on all 3 things you don't lik...I'm with you on all 3 things you don't like to do!
