Flowers in Bloom




I took my grandson to the Shelburne Museum.

There were many exhhibits that we enjoyed immensely. The Steamship Ticonderoga, the circus barn, the Currier and Ives art exhibit, old school house. country store, Adirondack cabin, stagecoach tavern, railroad station. It was a full day. Dane's favorite was the Adirondack hunting cabin.

And what did grandma enjoy the most? Flowers -- the colorful grounds!








 Masks were required. There were limits on the number of visitors that could be in the buildings at one time, but on a weekday there was not a large crowd and we enjoyed our leisurely tour.

    That looks like a wonderful place to visit. The grounds are gorgeous! And a day out with your grandson making memories is the best.

    Sounds like there was something there for everyone. What an interesting variety. Glad they are following Covid precautions.

    Glad you could have such an enjoyable outing with your grandson. Wish mine lived closer so we could have more time together. Lovely flowers and photos!

    Great outing. I love it when I can introduce the Grand Kids to something new. And, of course, I love the flowers too.

    I love those flowers too and I’m glad safety measures were in place for the two of you.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
