July 24, 2007






A change! Posted one of my watercolour paintings. Hope you like it.
I have some photos to post as well. I was taken on a tour of Hartford via ATV. What a thrill! We stood still by a beaver pond for over a half hour hoping to see some beavers but I think it was too hot for them to be out and about. We did see a flicka and a hawk which I couldn't identify. But I saw many many wildflowers - blackeyed susans, daisies, bee balm and some I couldn't name. I forgot my wildflower book. We shared a lovely picnic on the hillside with a view that would take your breath away. A lovely day!

Today I visited the Mettawee Nursery in Dorset taking my young granddaughter who is 7 with me. We thoroughly investigated the fairy garden and I took many pics. See this site for same. We went home and after picking black berries, we built a small fairy house. We plan to build more after I go to Michaels crafts for some houses etc. Several years ago in VA, my young then granddaughter and I built fairy houses all around my yard. We used sea shells, pine cones, shiny ribbons, little berries and nuts. We strung shiny sequin ribbons from tree to tree. It was lots of fun for both of us. Yesterday, my sis and her grandson, me and my granddaughter went to the movies to see Ratatouille. I totally enjoyed the animated film about a chef rat. I don't know if the kids liked it as much as we adults did.

Tomorrow night is the Kenny Chesney concert at SPAC. My sis and I are going which should be a good time. Here are some photos--- One shot is taken from the Algonquin Rest. on Lake George where we celebrated my sister and hubby's 44th wedding anniversary.
