While driving on Newtown Road, I noticed a bright yellow patch. Upon closer investigation, we discovered that it was part of a Community Garden.

The air was filled with the scent of wild roses and the buzz of dragonflies.

Milkweed glowed in the sun like the filament of a light bulb.

The hydrangeas are magnificent this year.

I think this house went a little over the top…and the sides and the front.

We watched several small planes take off and land again at sunset.



The airport serves small private planes. Flight lessons and glider rides are offered. In the summer it is exciting to see blimps tethered here at night.

You can also ride in this reproduction of a 1937 biplane.

In the early summer, the airfield was a sea of daisies.

Liberty Hall is sometimes the site of folk music and other concerts.
