These are Wollaston Garden Club members at their annual Greens Sale held yesterday at the Wollaston Congregational Church. The sale usually nets around $3000 in less than 2 hours. Part of the proceeds are put back into beautifying the city. Let the decorating begin!

Thursday is "This Old House" Day

This gambrel style cape on Dixwell Streeet, is shown here in all it's spring glory. This is an unusual style house for the Hospital Hill section of Quincy. I like the natural stained shingles and the 12 over 12 windows; though I wouldn't want to clean them. The pole lantern with the onion dome light is a nice touch along with the brick walkway leading to the front door . . . very New England.

A few flakes from the 16" snowfall landed perfectly on one of my door decorations. I love the snow but abhor the ice that is coating my stairs, walkways and driveway; it's treacherous under foot. Orthopedic surgeons must be in overdrive at Quincy Medical Center.
