Waiting for the Flowers

Next door the crocus are blooming although the yard is mostly still full of snow. These are the first little signs of warmth that give us assurance that winter won’t last forever.

I am looking forward to the hydrangea shrubs blooming, since my business depends upon my floral photography, but that will be a while.
Summers are short here in the northeast so we make the best of them.

My Rock By The Lake

All my life I’ve chosen “favorite spots” to go to when I need a break or to be rejuvenated. A place that is quiet and peaceful where I can take time to think or not think.
My latest spot is this rock by the lake. Except for the summer months, there is no one around when I go here and the view of the lake is perfect.
Once I sat here an watched a loon dive under the water and over and over only to surface in some surprise spot. They stay under water for quite a while, like little submarines.
Being outdoors keeps me sane and no matter what the season I greatly appreciate the fresh air, my ability to walk and see the glorious world around me.

The Stone Church

I don’t know much about Antrim’s stone church except that it is a beautiful structure.

Recently the Historical Society accepted the church as a gift from the Rymes family and the Stone Church Foundation and will look into having some restoration done.

The town is very active in preserving history and historical buildings and every month they have some sort of presentation at a local downtown church. I attended a few of them. One was about old bridges and I remember being surrounded by “old timers” who knew the exact locations of all the places talked about whereas I (being a new member of the community) was a bit lost.

It makes me wish I’d been part of a small town for all my life.
