It is halfway into July and I've yet to make an entry-so here goes. Every now and then, I hear a beating of the air outside and it is usually a good time to run out and get a peek at the Goodyear blimp. True to form it was making it's way against a stormy sky towards Yankee stadium where it will likely cover the all-star game. It must launch near by as we see it all the time.

My second shot for this post is of the garden. I took this snap from the bridge. If you look you can see Val's handiwork and gifts from friends. We did an informal survey and found that over half of our perennials are snips from friend's gardens. One of my favorites is the hydrangea.
