Hollyhocks and Petunias
Hollyhocks looked lovely last summer at Longstreet Farm.
Red petunias scrambled across my front lawn in August 2010.

Mrs. S. Cooks Up KCC
Mrs. S. hosts the Kosher Cooking Carnival for the first month of Adar (we have two this year – extra happiness). There’s tamarind date cake, eggplant filled with bulghur, lemonade, brownies, creamy parsnip soup and more.
Stratton Window
The inn we stayed in at Stratton Mountain in Vermont had a large, tall window in the cozy room with the fireplace. My daughter and I had fun hanging out in this room. You may see that rug again for Ruby Tuesday (if I’m not too crazed with work on a Monday). I took these shots with my daughter’s Canon Power Shot Elph – the quality isn’t as good as that of my old, larger Power Shot, but the camera is a great, flat size. Good enough to share.

Philadelphia Zoo Bridge
Last October we passed this rhinoceros painting under the bridge next to the Philadelphia Zoo.
Here is the outside of the bridge with animal paintings.

Sky at Stratton, Vermont
This is the sky early Monday morning at the bottom of Stratton Mountain in Vermont. At the top, it was about -30°F – frigid, frost-bite weather.
Here you can see some of the Stratton Mountain condos.
In the top photo, do you see the large, black bird swooping by? The bird (is it a hawk?) swooped and swooped all around, but I only managed to capture him in that one photo before he flew away. I wonder why this bird chose to stay in cold Vermont?
