Neptune is the street's namesake and same for the twine and cord mill, having manufactured rope for sailing ships back in the 1800s.

Sign for the old cord mill:
The ghost town of Johnsonville, a period village at Neptune mills just outside Moodus. It's not maintained for visitors, but perhaps someday.

Stuart! He'd been laying on that flagstone for a while. The stone must have been cooler to lay on than than the grass or wood table, in this weather.

Morning light
Blueberry bushes, surrounded by stakes, draped over with bird netting.
Young watermelon vine.
Several are just starting to sprout. It will be late season before any are ready!
