I know, it’s a little crazy, but there’s something about this building that draws me in. I’ve watched it for years. Michael and I actually lived at the other end of the court when we were first married. It’s a garage, with space overhead, but for just two people, couldn’t it be adorable? Here itContinue reading “Our Retirement Home”
What’s Happening in the Garden–October 10
It really feels like fall out in the garden. I can’t say that I love it, I’m a summer person, but it is beautiful here and the Holidays are right around the corner, then the snow, and then spring will be here.. sorry.. I’m getting off track :). Okay, out to the garden! Here’s ourContinue reading “What’s Happening in the Garden–October 10”
Up In the Rigging
Michael took these photos of our very dear Uncle John working up in the rigging of the Friendship on Friday. It may be Halloween season in Salem, but the work goes on!
The Grand Parade!
Last night was our Halloween parade in Salem. The forecast was for rain, downpours actually. I’ve never seen it rain on that parade and last night was no exception. The rain held off until the very end and then it just drizzled a tiny bit. One of the great things about the Halloween parade hereContinue reading “The Grand Parade!”
A Few Minutes at the Gables
I know, I’m supposed to be blogging about Halloween, but, I still have a Salem garden or two to get in before the frost hits. I thought I’d make it to lots of places this summer and then it just seemed to go so quickly! That’s okay, I like having a long list of placesContinue reading “A Few Minutes at the Gables”
Halloween in Salem is Here!
It’s October 1st! To those of us in Salem, Massachusetts that means that Haunted Happenings, is here. There is nothing quite like Halloween in Salem! I used to resent all of the traffic and tourists and craziness but then a few things changed. Ten years ago we moved up and out of the downtown. WeContinue reading “Halloween in Salem is Here!”
Will This Be an Office?
When we’ve not been out in the garden, or at soccer games or dance rehearsals, we’ve been working a little bit on this project. I’m using the word “we” rather loosely here since Michael does the work and I pretty much run interference with everyone else so he can work. But I do hand himContinue reading “Will This Be an Office?”
What’s Happening in the Garden–September 26
I’m a little bit behind on my What’s Happening update. Soccer, dance and golf (and school) are our main focus right now. Garden time is precious, as is blogging time. Blogging makes me motivated to get things done out there. Right now I’m wishing I’d gotten fall veggies in. I missed the window, butContinue reading “What’s Happening in the Garden–September 26”
Wow!! What squash can do!
Okay, maybe this is kind of a weird title, but it’s what came into my mind. I have to show you these photos that Blaire sent me a week or so ago. Blaire always has her eye out for great gardens in the downtown and she sends me these interesting finds. This is in theContinue reading “Wow!! What squash can do!”
A Painting Story
In the beginning there was a garage full of furniture that needed to be painted (along with 1,555,698 other things)… Then there was paint… and a great painter! and wonderful helpers! and more help… and the great painter was very patient (as he almost always is).. and soon there were painted furniture pieces… strewn throughoutContinue reading “A Painting Story”
