What divine simplicity / E P-2

In a recent post I stated that the New England Protestant ethic had beaten the bauhaus movement in the ideal that form follows function. This old bicycle at the Northampton

Museum shows this. Made late in the 19th century, it has a very appealing modern design whose simplicity is it's true beauty.

Renaissance villa in Connecticut / E PL-2

This is Tennessee


William's Italian style villa south of Groton Connecticut on the sound. It is a wonderful place with superb gardens. The location is absolutely wonderful. It is now a state park and it is worth a visit that includes use of the beach.
