Top three reasons to visit the northwest corner of Connecticut in July (other than the very top reason, the ability to spend time with family):
1. Fresh asparagus from the garden (Nick points out that this is a special treat for us because we are visiting someone who has an asparagus patch...)
2. Ten degrees cooler than Richmond
3. Badminton and croquet on the lawn (including expert coaching from Granddad...)
Top three reasons NOT to visit the northwest corner of Connecticut in July:
1. The gnats
2. The gnats
3. The gnats
To be fair, the rain today seems to have kept the gnats away.

Badminton and croquet on the lawn?
Sounds like a Merchant Ivory film. :-)
Those films never mentioned gnats, though.....
When Scott Cady, leavuing Cornwall for a new position, was asked by the newspaper what he liked least about the Northwest Corner, he replied, "What's not to like? Even the gnats just love you!"
