Yesterday, our walk in light rain took us on the opposite side of the Squamscott River with the town of Exeter NH in the distance. This is the first time we’ve viewed the town from this vantage point and it looked beautiful to us on this fall day.
The tidal Squamscott River begins here, fed from the freshwater Exeter River and it runs 6.3 miles through rural areas and small towns to Great Bay, which connects to the Piscataqua River and, finally, the Atlantic Ocean.
Not prepared with umbrellas or raincoats, we were fully drenched by the time our walk ended but we kept our smiles. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to feel a raindrop and it was a very good thing….
Just beautiful.Annie. You keep me in touch with my New England roots. I so enjoy all your posts. Miss u, j

Love the towns of New England, their old brick buildings along the water-front. What was the industry there? textiles? Beautiful photos, Judy, and what a nice ‘walk in the rain’!

Yes, textiles… like so many New England towns. I was standing in front of the old mills, now trendy apartments.
