The lilacs are fading, taking their aroma with them, but the sweet scent of honeysuckle almost makes up for it.


Fields that used to be golden with dandelions now look as if they have snow on them!

Blooming early!

The Gas Plant - Edward S. Barton's favorite!

The white, pink and purplish-brown flowers are borne on spikes 2 feet to 3 feet high. Both the foliage and flowers are fragrant and when the parts are crushed in the hand, they have the fragrance of a lemon. The Gas Plant begins blooming shortly after Memorial Day, and the seeds ripen about the middle of August. The whole plant gives off a strong, volatile oil which will give a flash of light if a lighted match is held under the blossoms or clusters of seed capsules on a sultry Summer evening.

What a Game!

(When your two favorite teams play against each other, you really can't lose anything but sleep!)
