I'm back. Forgot to tell you about beach glass. On our side of the Lake the glass seems to be deposited in the stones on the edge of the shore. I take a garden claw and scrape the surface, and sometimes dig down till I reach sand ( about 3-4").I haven't found much on the sandy beaches themselves. B.
Ahh, a Quaker temple. That would explain the harp. I was wondering what on earth a harp was doing in a synagogue. Lovely instrument wherever it's played.
Interesting. Had never heard of Davidites before! With a name like Sharon Temple, my first reaction was that it was a Jewish place of worship (because I've heard my Jewish friends describe where to go worship as temples as well as synagogues).
How very interesting! I had to look this one up. David Wilson was from Dutchess County, NY, apparently. There were many, many little religious and social communities that sprang up and out of New York State in the early to mid 1800s.
GREAT post! I enjoyed it immensely.
Happy Photo Hunting! I hope you get a chance to visit my post today at New York Traveler.net. Happy trails!
