What Larry did on his vacation

The storm on the bay window needed to be reglazed this Summer. So, Larry and I took it off to work on it in the garage. Then, we noticed the wooden shutters were rotting and needed some repair. Upon further inspection, we decided to take them down and forego any repairs. The last time the siding was painted beneath the shutters was probably 3 or 4 colors ago. Of course, the rain gutters on the addition are the same color as the siding. The pictures of Larry on the ladder are of him scraping the rain gutters for the new color.

Spring Bloom 2009, a bit to the North

This is the view a bit to the North as the Spring progressed. I was intrigued by the contrast of the red maple to the trees on either side of it.

Spring Bloom 2009, Westward view

This is the same view of the leaf watch from last Fall. The dates are May 3 --> June 14, 2009.

(Above is a street level view because I never remember these trees in bloom like this.)



This is the view looking South from the porch in progression from May 3 --> June 14. Yes that is a repair guy working on my neighbor's room on May 16th. I am always stunned at how quickly the trees change from buds to flowers to Summer green.

Basketball in the rain

These two local hullagans took over my driveway for a game of b-ball during today's rain shower.

Bleeding Hearts

Bleeding hearts is another Spring blooming plant. It comes up, blooms and then keeps a pretty foliage until frost. This year it bloomed from early May and the pic of leave alone is from mid June.
