4th of July...

Hooray for the 4th of July...hope you all had a good day...we watched a nice fireworks display over the lake...see the reflections??   

Rivers...

We kept find more rivers along the road...         

Ribbons...

We were heading to the Adirondack mountains...look at that ribbon of highway...through the windshield...on the move...drive I tell you, drive... 

Water...

The roads many times follow rivers in this area...this is looking down at one of those rivers...the plants are growing out of the river bank rocks... 

First Night...

We spent the first night at Bath, New York...not much happening...we were on the 4th floor with a very slow elevator or stairs...used the stairs alot and swam in the pool...nice evening... 

Signs...

Stopped at a rest area on the highway...which way shall we go??? 

Trips...

Hubs and I went for a trip...we went through New York state into Vermont, New Hampshire  and a little bit of Maine...We have never been east before and never to the New England area...Hoping to amuse you for a bit, I'll be putting up some pictures from that trip...As usual when we travel, we had 3 GPS's, 3 tour books, an road atlas and some travel brochures...we're ready...let's go...

Spiders...

Any arachnophopes out there???  This little guy (or girl) was at the checkout of the greenhouse...he did not stay around long... 

Spring Flowers...Bridal Veil...

This is another old standby...Bridal Veil...it's been around for as long as I can remember...it's a shrub that gets full of these blooms and the branches droop from the load of blooms... though I wonder if I've gotten some mixed up as these look alot like some type of berry bloom...hhhmmm???

Spring Flowers...Blue...

  Found this in the yard among some vines...any ideas??

Spring Flowers...Tulips...

I'm sure you all know the plain old tulip... 

Spring Flowers...Columbine (2)...

This is the columbine growing in my flower bed...they have been around for many years...I think they will spread ... 

Spring Flowers...Columbine...

This is a columbine that was blooming in the greenhouse...it's different than the ones out in my flower beds...they are all sold now, so I'll not plant it this year...will find you a picture of the old fashioned columbine...

Storm...

Been off line for a couple days...storm blew through and left bunches of trees down...big old trees...feel sorry for the trees, but glad they did not do much damage to buildings...     
Now clean up is continuing...
and assessment of damage...
been waiting for the tree guys to show up...






 Still waiting...

Spring Flowers...Blue Bells...

There is one blue bell plant in my Grandmother's flower bed...it blooms these each spring...and then  the plant is lost until the next spring...
