One of my favourite things in the garden – I just love how it looks, with nature (Ivy & Lichen) slowly taking it over! Margaret wants me to discard it, or replace it with a bench that could actually be sat on, but I keep refusing!
In the same area of the garden, is one very happy & successful Hosta (that will get MUCH bigger as the year progresses); a few other Hostas that don’t grow so big, too …
A few flowers in the garden at the moment (Margaret’s been busy!):
There’s also a rather less purple Azalea in bloom – looking quite healthy this year!
As in previous years (2006, 2007, 2008), the Cape Ann Food Pantry had it’s annual Empty Bowl event yesterday, raising funds to support their mission of “Feeding People. Changing Lives”, but this year, we have a new name, “The Open Door”, and a new logo to match! Once again the event was well attended by volunteers and supporters that contributed to be able to select a decorated souvenir bowl to take home, and partake in bread & soup dinner to emphasize the limited food available to some people – it’s also a great social event.
