Catching up here, weather uniformly awful last week. This was news on Saturday June 8.
Did not go outside yesterday (Friday), tropical storm Andrea got in the way. We were holed up in Pecks Creek about halfway between Cape May and Atlantic City. Safe but nothing much to see from there.

They’re off.
Well two of them are, we took off about 8:30 am Wednesday for the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, a mighty waterway dividing the northernmost counties of Maryland and Delaware from the rest of the said states.
Just in the entrance a Des. Res. In need of some TLC, probably a remnant of Sandy
Looks as if she was like really pleased. But what was she saying?
This shows how tranquil our road is, after the gas company dug a large number of huge holes all the way down the road to replace the gas main, then left them there for a long time without any action taking place.

And that’s what I want from you, cherished colleagues, a picture that perhaps describes tranquility in your life.
It can be a special place in the garden, a room, a chair, a holiday destination or as in my case a ‘special occasion.’ (even a ‘rare moment’ perhaps ;))
As usual I’ll accept multiple entries from participants.
Closing date Saturday June 22nd, any time zone, anywhere in the world, I’ll do the judging on Sunday, have fun and good luck!
Red-nose: “I see that Big Ears is avoiding the show today.”
A dull, wet day today. This is looking south down the road through the woods – about half a kilometer to the lane. The majestic magnolia is now almost in leaf and the rhododendra and lilac are showing nicely, with the buddleia struggling so far. Please note remains of mole hills and the mysterious stone semi-circle to left. Continue reading “The clearing”
