COVERED BRIDGES
Covered bridges evoke a simpler, kinder time in America, a time of friendly small towns, wooded country roads, trickling streams, flowing rivers, and families unpacking a picnic basket at a table in the shade of the covered bridge. Nothing is more photogenic than a covered bridge framed by autumn leaves.
In the winter, workers would often "snow" the bridges for uninterrupted sleigh rides. Historically, covered bridges have been called "kissing" or "wishing" bridges because young couples used to steal a kiss or make a wish before entering a new bridge for the first time. The bridge was roofed to protect the wood and timbers from rotting. People were not to drive or ride over the bridges faster than a walk (about 3 to 4 miles per hour) and smoking was prohibited.
While these covered bridges were primary routes in the late 1800's, they've been bypassed by modern roads and highways. Seek out the bridges - and the beautiful small towns that are still alive and thriving today; below are thirteen bridges in Bucks County, five in the Lehigh Valley, and one in Hunterdon County - the single remaining covered bridge in New Jersey.

PUENTES CUBIERTOS
Los puentes cubiertos evocan una época más sencilla y amable en los Estados Unidos, una época de pueblos pequeños y amigables, caminos rurales arbolados, arroyos que gotean, ríos que fluyen y familias que desempacan una canasta de picnic en una mesa a la sombra del puente cubierto. Nada es más fotogénico que un puente cubierto enmarcado por hojas de otoño.
En el invierno, los trabajadores a menudo "nevaban" los puentes para paseos en trineo ininterrumpidos. Históricamente, los puentes cubiertos han sido llamados puentes de "besos" o "deseos" porque las parejas jóvenes solían robarse un beso o pedir un deseo antes de entrar a un nuevo puente por primera vez. El puente estaba techado para proteger la madera y las vigas de la pudrición. Las personas no debían conducir o cruzar los puentes más rápido que una caminata (alrededor de 3 a 4 millas por hora) y estaba prohibido fumar.
Si bien estos puentes cubiertos eran rutas principales a finales de 1800, las carreteras y autopistas modernas los han pasado por alto. Busque los puentes y los hermosos pueblos pequeños que todavía están vivos y prósperos en la actualidad; a continuación hay trece puentes en el condado de Bucks, cinco en Lehigh Valley y uno en el condado de Hunterdon, el único puente cubierto que queda en Nueva Jersey.

How We Got Our Name
“I too lived—Brooklyn, of ample hills, was mine;” Walt Whitman, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry
Ample Hills Creamery takes its name from Crossing Brooklyn Ferry. This poignant work speaks to the connection of people over time, generations bound together by a place. We’ve all seen this connection in action, like when two strangers find out they’re both from the same state or went to the same school! Our founders dreamt of building a place like that: a place that brings people together. “Ample Hills Creamery” sprung to mind, and the rest is history.
Sure, we’re biased, but we think the name works on a lot of levels: referencing the theme of time (which melts away just like ice cream), evoking a sense of farmland (where we get our favorite ingredients) and most importantly, reflecting the values that are central to everything we do.
From Ample Hills website www.amplehills.com/our-story
History, poetry & ice cream (72% dark chocolate) . . . can life be more picture perfect ?!? And even though lately I hear from my mom often enough how bad I have to lose at least 5 lbs haven’t found a way yet to keep myself far away from that place. History & good food together is my weakness, and add WW to that and I am sold.
A quiet forest path captured on the trail from Eupen to the Wesertalsperre. In summer, a narrow beam of sunlight split the woods in two — now rendered in monochrome to evoke the calm of autumn, a moment between light and shadow, warmth and silence.
[Explored, Nov 2, 2025]:
My dear friend Melissa and I visited the Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. They are spectacular! The spring flowers are in full bloom in the conservatory . . . so many gorgeous colors and fragrances!
It was the perfect outing, though somewhat bittersweet, as the next four or five months will be cold turkey due to work and family commitments. Hopefully, the photos I post of our visit will evoke the beauty of this magical place. You may even smell the roses!
Broken Glass
Broken glass evokes monumental memories for me. The most emotional memory of broken glass came from a horrific incident that happened when I was only 8 years old. My father was away from home for a few days and one night while I was upstairs in bed I heard the telephone ring. With my father being gone, that worried me, so I got out of bed, went down the stairs, only to find the telephone receiver suspended inches above the floor hanging upside down as though my mother had disappeared. She was nowhere to be seen. At that moment, I heard a tremendous pounding on our front door. Remarkably, instead of running away, I ran straight towards that front door. Standing only a few feet away, I saw an angry man raise his foot and viciously kick the front door. The door exploded and glass shards hit me in the face and chest. He reached through the broken glass to unlock the door and cut his arm in the process. Immediately he flung open the door and stepped in, towering over me. I can't explain it, but I held my ground and didn't budge. I had no idea it was the man who less than a year later would walk in our home again, this time with a loaded shotgun, and begin shooting.
Every time I see broken glass I think of that night. For me, broken glass has come to symbolize the many facets of brokenness that people may have to face in their lifetime. Perhaps the characteristic erratic cracking pattern of broken glass resonates with the same erratic, jagged feelings of brokenness in our souls.
The good news is that broken glass can be replaced with new glass. Not that the memory of the broken glass disappears, but with new glass that allows us to see the new day clearly and with hope. Although I lived through some horrific tragedies that left me traumatized for many years, my life has not been defined by that trauma as much as it has been refined by that trauma.
If you've read this far, then I ask one thing: don't feel sad for me. I am filled with hope and joy and I choose to live life every day with zest and anticipation. Like a little boy. Like the little boy that still lives in me. Like we should live life. Out of every dark moment there is light just around the corner, and we've got to look through unbroken glass to see that light.
