Living in a state with distinct seasons, it's sometimes difficult to choose which time of year we like best because each has its high points. However, the lure of summertime swimming, barbecuing, vacationing, and basking under sunny skies makes the summer months, hands-down, the top favorite for many people.   

"Those long and lazy summer days have a definite appeal, but to enjoy them to their fullest, plan to tackle any home maintenance chores early on," Andy Smith, Broker/Owner of Badger Peabody & Smith Realty, said. "Sunny but cooler days in early summer are prime times to get outside and take care of sprucing up your property. Regular maintenance is important to keep your home and property looking good, especially if you plan on selling your home in the next few years. And tackling small problems before they escalate will save you time and money."

Advancements in design and materials have eliminated the practical purpose of covered bridges, but they remain a perennial favorite among sightseers who appreciate their quaint appearance and charming settings. Our real estate agents have created a must-see list of covered bridges around Plymouth homes for sale that are worth visiting.

• Swiftwater Covered Bridge - 7 Porter Road, Bath, NH 03740
  While New Hampshire is home to several covered bridges, the Swiftwater Covered Bridge is one of only a few that date back to the 19th century. Originally built in 1810, not far from Bath homes for sale, the bridge had a cover added in 1849 after multiple losses to flooding. The Swiftwater Covered Bridge is recognized as one of the better examples of the distinctive Paddleford truss that was widely used throughout New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine during the 19th century. In 1976, the Swiftwater Covered Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Chocolate chip cookies are so delicious and popular that they have their own special day: National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, observed on August 4. While any time is a good time for this tasty sweet, why not make a particular point to treat yourself?

Our real estate agents recommend stopping by any (or all!) of these cafes and bakeries for a next-level chocolate chip cookie.

• Mystic Sugar Bakery  28 Norcross Circle, North Conway, NH 03860
  When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, bigger is definitely better. In fact, everything, from cupcakes to cookies, is giant-sized at Mystic Sugar Bakery, located downtown near North Conway homes for sale. The bakery aims to serve treats that will make you think "wow," and the huge Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie is no exception. You might want to visit relatively early in the day, since goodies frequently sell out.
