Weekend pics

A few pictures from here and yon. A couple of shots from the Art on Groton Bank show. My wife bought a very small painting from the artist at this booth (a steal at $5.00). Yes, that’s Neil Young at the lower left.

One of the younger artists concentrated on pictures inspired by the Transformers. We preferred this one, which was not for sale, having been promised to his mother.

As part of an occasional weekend feature, to cover up for a lack of substantive posting, I’ll be putting up some pictures of our garden (that’s being generous to me. My wife does the work, and I eat the results). The picture below, of a bottle gourd, was taken last week. This is the first year she’s grown these. They have taken over a fair portion of the garden, and apparently are strictly decorative, though they can be transformed into bird houses, which we might try.

The Onions are ripe for harvest (with the garlic due next week). The are absolutely huge and very sweet tasting.

We went to Hartford yesterday to visit my mother, and stopped on the way back to take this picture, a familiar sight to folks from our part of the state, but perhaps something new for folks from the rest of the state that don’t use Route 85. The T-Rex in Chesterfield is feeling the heat like everyone else.

Dinosaur

The T-Rex is at Nature’s Art in Chesterfield, across from David’s Place. My youngest son was a dinosaur fanatic, and I’ve always regretted that this place opened after his interest faded. There’s a number of life size dinosaurs on a nature trail behind the store, so if you have little dinosaur fiends in the family, it’s a nice stop.
