This and That

 Here is a collection of images from recent days.

Three little girls were "selling" vegetables from Mom's garden.  I asked how much for a cucumber.  "One" was the answer.  Uhh, one what?  They were too young to understand money.  I decided one quarter for each girl would work.  They were thrilled.  BTW, they wore berets because Dad was bicycling in France.

A lovely floral mailbox, though it is no help if you want to know the address.

Susan is the children's book buyer at Books on the Common, Ridgefield's excellent independent bookstore.  Books on the Common celebrated its 40th anniversary last year.

A hummingbird clearwing buzzed around a monarda plant.


I passed through North Andover, Massachusetts, on Monday, on my way to visiting some family members.  Then I saw this interesting church building.  It is the North Parish Unitarian Universalist Church.  New England is filled with white wooden Protestant churches, but this one is different.

The little girls selling "Vechtabols" is a winning photo. So glad you bought a cucumber from them. Susan has a fine portrait. Good for her keeping a bookstore functioning,
