“Corona in Berlin Style ;)” – Guest Blog
This photograph was sent in the early morning by my DIL in Berlin.
For the blog!
Thank you, N,❤️!
I’ve had some excellent contributions from family members and friends, as my own travel has been restricted, during these Pandemic times.
The Neighbor’s Hydrangeas
I’ve seen quite a few photos of hydrangeas on other blogs lately. These looked especially lush.
Thanks Kelly.

My sister sends me photos from her early morning walks in New York City.
Her guest blogging helps me with interesting posts when I’m not really going anywhere.
It’s cool she’s a tourist where she lives. Thanks, Mary.
Sharon Weaver – Portrait Artist
Portrait and a Plein Air Artist, Sharon Weaver is also my son-in-law’s mother.
This afternoon I walked up to the front steps and saw a package on the stoop. I read the return address and thought it looked like a box for artwork, stamped “fragile” .
Imagine my surprise when I unwrapped it and saw myself, Knitting.
Thank you for the magnificent painting, Sharon. I can tell you put a lot of ❤️ in it. A happy birthday present, indeed!
I thought one of these was real
I had to look again. My sister sent me this window scene she saw on one of her morning walks around New York City.
Silent Sunday
I will ask her the name of it and add.
Update :Bear’s Britches(breeches) is the common name . It is a wildflower that grows in Pa woods. Needs sun to flower as it is doing now. I will look up the Latin name and get back in to you later.
Second update Ruth it is acanthus mollis. It needs partial shade and very wet soil. It needs some sun to bloom well. It can be invasive so you have to watch it and pull out stems and roots if it starts to expand. I have not found it to be a problem in that regard but I don’t let it expand much
And then my sister just sent me a photo from her Hudson River Walk today in New York City
