White Flower Farm, Lichfield, Connecticut

Warmer and sunnier days – I am eager to get planting in my garden. Not on this scale however.

Plants on our shelf – long ago in Dublin

Today was relatively warm and sunny and I was able to wander in our garden in Ballard. And it made me eager to. get planting. There was a promise of birdlife. I saw 2 handsome bluejays.

M.S. Venus

This ship had a serious reputation. I first heard of it in the summer of 1958. I was on a Youth Hostel trip cycling first in England and next in Norway. We were to make the crossing via this ship – nicknamed the “Vomiting” Venus. But contrary to its reputation our group of eight cyclists had a very smooth crossing. Our approach to Bergen was smooth as glass and we could enjoy the beauty of the fjord. Happy Times.

Interesting image and coloring – automobiles from the 1950’s?

I’ve been going through some old photos and want to share them with you.

Rocks and Surf from the Marginal Way, Ogunquit Maine

The above photos were taken years ago – I am amazed at the clarity. Just think, those waves have been pounding in there year after year, month after month , day and night – I wonder how many eons. I am in awe!

Early March – Maple Sugar time

A Vermont Maple Sugar Camp

Reverse side – note the Postmark. The card was postmarked South Walden Vermont, 1912. The writer had been having a lovely time in the “old Green Mountains”.

Saddled up

This another image like the Schooner which I posted a while ago – I just like the shades of black and white.

Schooner

The 2 images are quite different but pleasing in their respective tones.

At the end of our 2 years in Fiji, we brought home a bowl like this. Another item to find a new home if we ever sell our house.
