August 2009

We decided to take a short trip up to LilyDale, NY this summer. It is south of Buffalo. This is the house we used to own there and it now belongs to our very good friend (and fellow Spiritualist) Patti. So we got to see her and stay there for a few days.

This is what we see when sitting on the porch of Patti's house. Many, many people stop to admire it. I sit there and think how I'd like to paint it!

This house we also see from the porch, just to the left of the other one. The flowers are such a treat for the senses.

Our friend Jean, from Syracuse, was also able to come and meet us there for a few days. The whole trip was such a pleasure.

Many of the houses are being renovated back to the Victorian styles they were in the 1800s.
