At Kennebunk, ME

All summer our little pond was not more that a large puddle. We were having such a drought. But in the past 6 weeks or so, we've had two significant snow falls and yesterday a deluge of rain. Today both our ponds are brimming.

It was the perfect summer night for a sail or a stroll along the new New York waterfront. Pics taken from Pier 6 in Brooklyn

All four Cygnets hatched over the weekend, 41-42 days after Victoria started to incubate them, spot on time.

It seems to me that when Albert sat the first two eggs for seven days, he wasn't actually incubating them. I am wondering if his feathers were to well insulated to allow his body heat to start the incubation period ?

Isn't this house magnificent? The year before my father passed he took me on a tour of streets I'd never been on in the town where he grew up--Norwich. Just a block or two away is where my great-grandparents owned a home. It's still there. The day he and I toured the area he was so excited showing me the back street where we stopped to get a good look at the property. There were all sorts of stories. I drove there over Thanksgiving weekend. Norwich had several factories in it's day. This house was probably built by one of those factory owners. I'd love to see the inside. It's so grand.

I found this scene right next to Monet's garden.

This tends to be the way they hang out--one or the other on top of each other. #grassforcats, #classycatscatnip, #dianewillowdesigns

So much new construction in Manhattan. For years and years this lot had a gas station and carwash . . . now it's a condominium! On lower 6th Avenue

Woke up to a dusting of snow this morning and decided to hop in the car to see what I could find. Have only been on this road maybe 5 times in my life and don't remember seeing this barn before. Loved it!

This painting has been on this wall since 2013, but I've only just seen it. Painted by German artist Hendrik 'ecb' Beikirch as a tribute to the young people who came to the Lower East Side in the late 1800's and early 1900's to start new a new life.

Early rose!

They're doing as much as they can to bring New London back to the thriving city it once was. For the past several summers, flowers abound around the train station and on some of the historic back streets
