Today there was a yard sale at one of the older histiric homes in Southampton Village. This sizable sculpture of Pan was offered for sale among many interesting items.

While in the City
I stopped by my friends apartment and the wall was open to chase down a small leak. The building was built in 1929 but with the thick block walls and complex fittings it looked like it could all be much older, almost Roman.

Wild by Nature ?
In the late 1990s man planted wild flower fields became very popular. It turned out that these engineered fields are very tricky to maintain. The wild flowers that want growing in your field might get over run by a bunch of weeds. Not the fun mix of colors you had hoped for. To start out the field has to be stripped of existing plants. Then large quantiies of expesive seed are needed. Birds or other critters might eat much of that seed. If all works out you get a great show, if very lucky you get a show again the next year.

Summer Splendor
The gardens at my friend Irene's house are in yet another bloom cycle. This garden is a real show stopper.
