Frame Job



National Park Ranger, C. Blood, is helping to winterize the boxwood plants at the Adams National Historic site. A nifty framework is placed over the plant every few feet and boards nailed into the frame. This keeps the heavy snow from damaging this lush garden edging.

The Adams Mansion is closed until spring but the grounds surrounding Peacefield may be enjoyed all winter long.

Summer Attraction

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