Thursday is "This Old House Day"



This 1921, arts and crafts home at 87 Greenleaf Street is getting a new coat of paint. The owners are even painting the original storm windows . . . you don't see many of those around Quincy. The roof line caught my eye and the owner told me that it is a Gull Wing style roof. Can't you see those wings?

It's such a beautiful house as are so many that you post on Thursday.

Yes, I love that roof line. Wish you could have wangled an invitation inside to see if the original materials and design were still in evidence.

Summer Attraction

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
