Tidal Wave

I came across this wall of mulch at the stone yard.

David's Lane

 Tom's garden stole the show again

The Big Pit

Wainscott Sand and Gravel has a nice operation in a big hole off Brick Kiln Road.

 We went there to get new crushed stone for my driveway.

Bugs Life

This bug like contraption will be making a video of 43 David's Lane

This was the first time I walked through a grove of Crepe Myrtle. I have not seen this plant grown into trees before today.

Quick Read

It is just amazing, the selection of free publications week get out here each week in the summer.

Summer Daze

Halsey farms like this have been here over 300 years. It is good that many are now protected as farms by code.

Art Barn

Some spots of color in the dry field at the Parrish.

Totem Poles

These sculptures on the Bridgehampton polo grounds remind me most of

the Easter Island Moai.

Bird Food

This sun flower grew from a missed bird seed. The bees in the flower are having a good time so covered in yellow pollen that they are hard to spot.

Party Time

This bar looks like it is all set for tonight.

Hot-rod & Red

 

What a treat to see this bomb in the grocery store parking lot.

 

Timber

Big orange trucks TREE SCAPES came today and took down my black locust. The tree needed to come down as it had rot in its core and carpenter ants to boot. My yard seems to look bigger without the tree.

They took great  care to protect my property including laying plywood to protect the lawn as branches came down.

After the tree was cut up we saw the rot I had been told was there.

 

Out with the Old

This is one of a few beams that need to go.

 

This is the first bin of old wood going to the dump.

New pressure treated wood for the project.

House Guests

We started to repair the front porch today and found that all sorts of insects had made homes in the porch walls. The two wasp nests we found in this section were not active.

Sublime

What a perfect setting for a pool.

Veer

What way did they go ?

Summer Veg

The Halsey Farm Stand on Deerfield Road opened July 1st. I found a recipe for pickled beets in the new Jackson Pollock cook book, I am giving it a try.

New in Town

There is a new art show this season

MARKET ART + DESIGN

The setting is amazing, the food a bit better

Art from this show has stuck in my mind

 

The Big Show

ART SOUTHAMPTON open today on the polo grounds in Bridgehampton

The show looks good with a great range of work.

The show will be up for just this weekend

 

 

 

Tigers in My Yard

Some people call day lilies, tiger lilies. Tiger Lilies have a single woody stem with a turk's-cap shaped bloom at the tip. The orange version of this flower grow wild on roadsides in the Berkshires' have them in my garden in a few colors.

The bulbs are planted in the spring and look like garlic.

 

Free Parking

Once you get this far into the dunes the shoes come off!

Dune View

The beach was looking very good for the holiday weekend.

Smoke Signals

If plants made fireworks it might look like this smoke bush that opened just in time with the 4th of July.

Faded Glory

I like how the weather worn colors of this bunting blend with these old bricks.

Edge of Summer

I have been tracking Tom's garden this year. Here is the lead bed in early July.

Waves Rule

Lots of surf after the night's storm
