Wicoff House n More

There was still more pictures we took from the Wicoff House Museum on Founder's Day, as well as the rest of the afternoon.

Outside the house, we found this awesome setup. This might look like just a cool garden, but it's actually a specially-designed Plainsboro's Pollinator Pit Stop for migrating butterflies. They go all the way from Canada to Mexico, and now they can stop and take a break in New Jersey. Could you imagine if these things were all over the place? Yes, more butterflies please.

Before we left the museum house, we found this clever thing. It's a scrap new copy of the ancient photo album in the display case, so you can flip through it and sort-of check out all of the old photos. Wonder what those old people looked like?

Look at them all not smiling. Who would smile in a photograph? You'd look like a crazy person!

Hey, it's you! Haha how would I know who's reading this? Wouldn't it be creepy if one of these people looked just like you?

Hey, Mrs. Chesney there in the corner just might have a little bit of a smile going on! That makes this old photo extra-rare.

Old photo of... an eagle? Okay... did that come with the album? Or did they really get a pet eagle to sit still for one of those ancient cameras? Also, if you squint a little, Mr. Hamblin there looks like he's wearing sunglasses.

Does the just-completed renovations include this critter-hole in the stairs outside? Or are the critters just that fast, that they've already chewed this new door for their house under the porch this morning? Is it safe for me to stand here?

There was a whole second floor to this place that was not open. Does somebody live up there? Or was there not enough artifacts to fill those rooms?

Hey, it's a pony hitching post! A long long time ago, before cars, people would park their horses on these posts. We did not pump this well to see if it worked. Maybe some other time.

The basement door was ajar. Ohhh the temptation to sneak down there to check it out. Probably get in trouble. Oh nevermind.

Right behind the house is this giant antennae. What's the wifi password to this place?

No renovations required for this tree, that's probably just as old as the house. It's seen some stuff.

Could you imagine a world where the bathrooms are in tiny shacks outside? Now take a moment to really appreciate modern plumbing convenience.

The outhouse has a window. No peeking!

Looks like they forgot to take down some Halloween spider webs. It's May. Slackers!

This great grate in the ground looked so much like it was hiding treasure of some kind. Or maybe it's a secret evil prison cell.

Note the proper use of punctuation on the sign. If it just said "Childrens Garden" without the apostrophe, you'd think they had planted children here.

In front of the house there's one of the locally popular cabinets to take a book and leave a book. LittleFreeLibrary.org to find one near you.

Well that was fun. I guess in another hundred years, people will look back on our Potato Cutters and Wal-Mart Receipts in a big old house. It was such a fantastic day, we decided to leave and go for a bike ride.

Get those mother f-ing snakes, off that mother f-ing log! Haha snakes on a log.

So so super sorry Mia, but when we glanced at this sign, we thought it said "Mia SUCKS." Argh politics, right?

We rode past this honeysuckle bush and took a branch to cram in the handlebars of the bike. Thinking it would smell nice the whole way home.

We had some extra tiny Hatchimals we got on that Gamestop clearance sale, and left one on this lamppost. See the tiny pink thing? It's likely to disappear but we're curious if it's really noticeable or not. -- We rode by a week later and it was still there.

Riding past the local shops, we laughed when we saw this sign. "Make it a Mathnasium Summer!" said no kid, ever.

On the way back from the bike ride, we rode past the Founder's Day being cleared up. It was getting progressively cloudier and almost going to rain by the time we got home.

 The honeysuckle thing worked pretty well. It was not all the time smelling like honeysuckles but often the wind would kick it up to you and it was rather nice.
