Rounding up the kids in the neighborhood!


I found this photo in my stack in the box in the corner of the basement and it made me smile. Takes me back to my inner little girl. So funny...love the dress, so clean and that haircut!
The little boy is my cousin Hal. "Here he is Mom I found him!"

Eves spout flowers

































This home in Quincy is magnificent. So beautiful and stately it is listed a historical home. But every year the owners amaze me with their flowers and landscape. The flowers planted in the eves spouts are so pretty and they thrive very well up there. I think they must have a sprinkler system involved. A lot of work involved in the yard and keeping up with all the yard and flowers especially during the long, hot summers. But this year we have received more rain than usual which is good.

Raspberry Farmer







As I was watering my plants this evening I am always wondering what else I could grow here in our little patch of ground. As you can see it is not going to be tomatoes. The plants look like they have barely survived the bomb.



But my little red raspberry plant is going to town! I actually picked 16 raspberries off that sucker. I had just got done putting sevin powder on it because looked like the leaves were being eaten by something. But just look at the picture of it......I have found my calling....a raspberry farmer!



Take care...next post will be of a home in Quincy that uses their evespouts to plant flowers.

An Early Halloween?




For some reason I am running into cobwebs everywhere...guess summer is over and autumn might be coming. Or maybe the spiders are in high gear weaving for an impending storm. HOpefully you can see the intricate webs.

Rainbow










What a wonderful evening this is. A perfect Rainbow with its reflection in a hazy stormy sky.
The geese are enjoying a raindrop bath. The air is cooler.
