Photographed above is the arugula and asparagus I purchased from the Putnam Farmers’ Market last week. A woman from Fall Creek Farm told me that the asparagus was the last of the season! I made asparagus parmigiano a couple of times and I am looking forward to doing so again next year.
The flowers are picked from my own garden but are, unfortunetly, not a sign of my ability to grow flowers. They are a sign that I am unable to grow broccoli. A combination of early heat and recent rain made half of my broccoli bloom and the other half not develop at all.

Google has added street level photographs of Route 44 in Pomfret. Although Route 169, a National Scenic Byway, has not yet been added the stretch of road that shares the road bed with Route 44 has been. Based on the construction taking place along the route, the photographs were taken last summer. The camera car path line (the yellow line) is slightly misplaced along the route, often going off of the road. The view above is at the Pomfret Public Library looking South. I have found one big camera glitch, or possibly a temporary installation for your viewing. It would be exciting to see the rest of the town’s roads in street view.
I found these two photographs in Putnam, Connecticut a few months ago. I passed by them until I noticed a detail in the photo above. I almost put it down, but then I found the same detail present in the photo below the jump. I’m still excited about these. (more…)
