At the Corner

Last Saturday afternoon, Anne and I went for a sightseeing drive of the country side near Bantam Lake before proceeding to the historic town of Litchfield, CT.  There are small boutique shops and stores occupying the street level retail spaces in these century old buildings along the Main Street.  

The street corner diner I remember many years ago has now been replaced with a more upscale restaurant & bar.  We found a bench by the end of this corner brick building where she took pleasure in watching people go about their summer day stroll while I sketched the scene.  The oval Serendipity marker was my reference measurement in relation to the whole scene.  The patriotic flag marks the side door entrance to the "At the Corner Restaurant and Bar".  How clever use of a business name!
