The Early Roads of New Ipswich

This morning I heard the male chickadees singing their hey, sweetie song a sign that Spring is coming eventually. I also saw my first Frost Heaves sign. I can't imagine what mud season was like in New Ipswich after seeing some of these photos of the early roadways.

It is not clear if Village, Maple and Main were all names for the same road

A shady road which appears to also be Main Street
I imagine it was dusty when dry and muddy when wet
