CHANGING WORLD: AUGUST 2025

This is August 2025 Photos by Garry and Marilyn Armstrong Notes: If I am IN the picture, figure someone else (not me) took it. If Garry's name is the signature, HE took the picture. The ones in the restaurant and at the light show? Some talented passing stranger and thanks, whoever you are! A strange month … Continue reading CHANGING WORLD: AUGUST 2025

THE CHANGING SEASONS – JULY 2025

The Changing Seasons, July 2025 This has been a strange month. We've had a lot of activity, all medical, dental or veterinary. Garry, me, Duke. The rest of the family have had issues too. I got some good pictures of Garry. When the temperature wasn't crazy hot, we managed to get other pictures around town. … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS – JULY 2025

THE CHANGING SEASONS – JUNE 2025

The Changing Seasons, June 2025 This June, my orchids started to sleep until the next flowering. There are some flowers still blooming, but they are dropping flowers. They have been blooming since March, so I suppose three months is a lot of blooming orchids -- and I have two more that haven't bloomed yet, but … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS – JUNE 2025

THE CHANGING SEASONS – MAY 2025

The Changing Seasons, May 2025 May is usually the most flowery month of our year. It's why "Decoration Day" (now "Memorial Day") was set at the end of May so everyone could pick flowers from their gardens to decorate the graves of veterans. And of course why the day was originally called Decoration Day. Indoors, this … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS – MAY 2025

THE CHANGING SEASONS: APRIL 2025

The Changing Seasons, April 2025 It's a hard world and my doctor has ordered me to not watch the news. All it does is increase anxiety. It has that affect on everyone in the house, from the youngest to the oldest. Garry feels he needs to watch so he knows what's going on. I point out … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS: APRIL 2025

THE CHANGING SEASONS: MARCH 2025

The Changing Seasons, March 2025 The only thing that keeps me from hiding in a corner and gibbering are birds, flowers and the oncoming of spring. I am so terribly unhappy with The World, I can't even talk about it. Even Garry, addicted as he is to the news, has stopped watching it -- except for … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS: MARCH 2025

THE CHANGING SEASONS – JANUARY 2025

The Coldest Month of the Year Typically January is our coldest and sometimes snowiest month. For the past few years, it wasn't but this year -- winter came back to New England. While I'm not a big fan of snow and ice, I was glad to get a month of real winter after several years … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS – JANUARY 2025

THE CHANGING SEASONS – NOVEMBER 2024

The Changing Seasons. Christmas cactus flowers and a scarlet Japanese maple Another month, come and gone. November. We had an election. Let's not talk about it. Christmas is hurrying along and yesterday was "Black Friday" which Garry still thinks sounds racist. This past month has been all about blooming Christmas Cactus, the bright red Japanese … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS – NOVEMBER 2024
