July was a busy month at the Blue Horse Inn.  The month began with a wonderful wedding – the bride was the granddaughter of Eleanor Paine and grew up in this house, back when it was known as 3 Church St.  The event was lovely.

As was the bride.

She took the plunge quite literally.

After the wedding, we rested.

And ate strawberries.

And lots of watermelon.

We hosted a benefit dinner for Venerable Somnieng’s Life and Hope Association.  The evening raised more than enough to support seven children at the Children’s Development Village for the next year.

Then things got warm.  Hot, even.

So we picked raspberries.

And made ricotta and raspberry scones.

And when it cooled down, we hiked Mt. Tom.

Peter Rowan played a set in our dining room.

And another in the parlor.

Last weekend, we prepared for the final wedding of the summer.

And managed to spend a little time by the pool in the process…
