Summer Projects

Each year I do some decorating for charity events. This was the ARF Beach-Ball in Bridgehampton 2009. This year the ARF party will have a Full Moon theme. I have started tests for the decoration parts, now that the Rose Girls are mostly worked out for the Rose Society. The Rose Girls are for July, ARF is not till August.

Color and Texture

I added a smoke bush last year to set off the corner of the giant green leaves, I did not expect the iris to show so nice in front of the bronze foliage.

Two Heads

I have been working on parts for the Southampton Rose Society's entry in the 4th of July parade. These head pieces for the "rose girls" are mostly complete.

Look our for Dinosaurs

The Chinese Rhubarb is so tall now that there is a whole world under their foliage.

Thats a Lot of Shingles

This home on North Main Street just got all new shingles. As the shingles weather the walls will turn darker from weather and the roof will turn lighter from the sun. This will give the home more definition.

New Garden

My big garden in the back yard has a back planting of bigger plants with annuals filled in on the front. This spring I added a new flower bed of classic perennials on the front of the house. It is tempting to ad some longer blooming annuals to this bed also but I will try to hold back.

Restoration

A lot of older homes in the village get a make-over. This home's deep repair job seems more a restoration as they have kept & rebuilt the old windows. I expect this is one of the older homes in our village.
