Street gardens






Was in the city last week, meeting cousin Kerry and Jane, visiting from England. Took time to notice the little (and not-so-little) gardens in all sorts of unexpected places: by Houston Street, between the busy road and flat walls; tucked onto little triangles of earth where no building would fit (one sported a proud sign with the name of the garden and "0.05 acres"); along the streets, everywhere. There is a surprising amount of green, and if you love gardening, there is plenty of opportunity to volunteer or just do it yourself.

Why is that squirrel black?

Because... it just is. :-) We have black squirrels on the east coast. They are really grey squirrels with a little more pigment... strange, but true. There are a load in Mastic Beach!
