Trip out west

Distracted : Out my window

It is a beautiful October afternoon and

I didn't much feel like staying in my chair.

Out side my window at work is a courtyard 

walled in on one side by a 3 story 

brick building covered with ivy.

There are windows under that bunch of greenery believe it or not!

Out of the corner of my eye I saw some movement.

A starling was perched on the vines

gobbling up the blue berries that hung in great clusters.

Our trip to Bedrock Garden

 The Tea House set up for sleeping.

We had a wonderful day traipsing about this privately owned garden.  

They open it to the public a few times a year. 

The scultures are created on site using the their large collection

 of parts from old farm implements and machinery.

Most all of the sculptures are for sale.

New field stone path I laid with 14 stones transported from VT to NH.

It goes to the side door at the garage.

Japanese Painted Fern from Mom's garden.

 This is the small flower bed we dug up last year

so that the perennials would have more room to grow.

The iris and lilies bloomed for the first time since we moved in.

The white foxglove was dug up from Vermont.

Wine & roses weigela in foreground with broom in the back.
