The Pictures
This is the last of the flower pictures. A few people have written this week to ask about them. Marty took the pictures this past Monday, at the Bridge of Flowers up in Shelburne, Massachusetts. We visited there in July, and he took his father and stepmother for a visit this week. You can tell from the pictures that it was overcast and gray on Monday, but the flowers were beautiful.
Shelburne is a nice little tourist area with old-fashioned attractions -- a dam, some ice-age rocks, many ice cream and candy stores, a small candle factory, a place where they make blown glass, and of course the bridge. It's a lot of fun to spend a few hours wandering around there in the summer or fall.
Someone asked if they were our flowers, and I had to giggle. I can't think of two worse gardeners than Marty and I. But I do love to take pictures of flowers. I just don't know that I'll ever have any of my own.
The fall visits are lining up. From now until Thanksgiving, it's likely to be a very busy time. (Plus we'll be trying to finish the bathroom!) We're still in the planning stages for many of these trips and visits. But first up: Maria and I are going to try to reschedule our visit (again) that was moved from Labor Day to September 13, and then postponed due to the terrorist attacks. I believe she is going to try to come around October 12 or so, and I will be very happy to see her.
