How do you get around town?

These are the different modes of transportation I have the pick from to get me to work 1 1/2 miles from home. 

St Gaudin's National Historic Park, NH

Days are shorter...it will be time to rake the leaves soon.

Wander about New Hampshire

CATHEDRAL OF THE PINES
Rindge NH

Bell Tower at the Cathedral in the pines Women's memorial
devoted to American Women’s service and sacrifice.

TARBIN GARDENS
West Franklin NH

Fall is beginning with cooler temperatures and shorter days.

The night air is cooling to near 32 degrees.

Time to prepare the gardens for their winter nap.

Summer's Bounty

The front yard garden....less mow, more grow!
I plan to expand in order to keep up with my husband's love to give produce away.

Clematis

I decided to plant some zinnias and cosmos seeds
that were about 5 years old.
They are putting on quite a show!

Our neighbor shared peaches from his trees.
I had such a great time peeling them using a hot water bath.
Then I made a giant pie.

Day trip to Brattleboro Vermont

It was our 27th Wedding Anniversary.

We stayed in one of the charming Carriage House rooms.

Mount Washington Hotel - NH

I spent time in the garden on Mother's Day

Delivery : Sheet Rock

The order of sheet rock arrives at the rental project.

Off loaded through the windows.

Geese enjoy the warmer weather.

The Male is ever vigilant, on guard at all times.

Our tax dollars at work!!!

We requested the city to take down this dead Elm tree that was at the corner of a very busy intersection.

It took two days for them to do the work.

They had to stop at 3 pm to make sure the school buses could get through.

Spring in the Garden

Have a wonderful Easter!

Snowdrops Pop Up

A sunny spot next to the chimney makes 

for a few early blooms.

Snow and Fur

The wind was whipping and his little tale was waving madly.

 Mr. Squirrel is preparing to jump on to the open feeder.

I would love to take more pictures of wildlife but you have to have a really nice camera or be real close to your subject.  I still struggle with the point and shoot camera.  Easy to carry around but you just can not take those special pictures and be guaranteed that it will focus on what you want it too.

Before & After at 52 Project

This is the difference that a couple of months makes.  The exterior is nearly done.
