Peony Brucie has bloomed. First peony of the season! Covered as many as I could because of the predicted frost. He was one of them and look at him now! A fern leaf peony that gets the show going.

Now wouldn't this adorable vintage bicycle look great in your landscape or with a basket of fresh cut peonies in it? Circa 1960's or 1970's Columbia red boys bicycle; fenders, chain guard, rear rack, cantilever frame, white tires; Includes a front headlamp (needs bulb); reflectors; horn and speedometer; white handlebars and seat with sparkles. Great collectors bike that with a little TLC can be a real beauty! I'm asking $75 for this baby! Local pickup.

The wallpaper on the second floor of a quaint New England scene had me pause in admiration for a bit. And I'm a sucker for vintage doorknobs so the one with the glass and antique lock/key had my heart as well. I think this will sell quickly. (Peony photos soon as the weather continues to be nice and they are growing quickly!). For now, I'm promoting my pretty little town. :)

Large flock of Evening Grosbeaks at the feeder, in the crabapple tree and the yellow birch in the distance. I heard the commotion outside and grabbed my phone to record through the window. One young Jake turkey catching the falling seed for breakfast.

This morning this was all grass from the recent melt off. Mother Nature said “Not so fast”. Happy Spring.

Friends ask from time to time if there is real estate near me. Well, this 'fixer upper' is located all the way at the end of my road in the town of Roxbury! Now, it needs works for sure...BUT there is a spot on the land (18 acres) that is flat and on a hill with incredible mountain views if you take down some trees. I've stood in this spot myself and saw the view through the trees. So if fixing this up isn't something you want to do, level this bad boy, clear out all the junk (a cost) and build brand new on a hill. This place is so private & quiet. Lots of wildlife. Thought I'd pass along. We'd be Winch Hill neighbors! P.S. When we looked at our current property back in 2012, we had to walk through a pine stand and on the other side was the magnificent mountain view you see today. We had that pine stand logged and that's why you see what you see in my photos. It wasn't there when we bought the place. If you put your mind to it, it can happen. $150,000 for a structure and 18 acres!
