Totally Art ad

This is the display that will be in the South Coastal Bank to show how they are helping Totally Art.

Help to the School System

South Coastal Bank gave $3000.00 to Beechwood Knoll school (in Quincy MA) to help with the "Totally Arts" program. This program initiates artistic programs and events that complement and enhance the activities of Beechwood Knoll's Art and instrumental programs. This includes Shakespeare, Photography, Sculpture, String Orchestra and much much more.

It is nice to be able to report money actually going into the schools. Lately all the news is about money being cut. Lets hope that other companies see what South Coastal Bank has done and decide to help out the schools too. Thanks South Coastal Bank!

CSA started

My CSA has started this year. Each one of the bins is filled with fresh produce. Yum! I look forward to this every year. Are you a member of a CSA?

Uncovered

I am replacing the carpet runners from the stairs. I found the multiple colors of paint under the carpet to be interesting.

Squirrel Run

The rain may have postponed the flag day parade and fireworks, but it was too late to cancel the Squirrel Run. The Squirrel Run, also known as the Jimmy Kennedy Memorial Run is a 5 mile run and 2.5 mile fitness walk to help the Angel Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding ALS research.


The memorial run is named for a lawyer and former North Quincy High School athlete who was afflicted with ALS. He died in 1997 at age 31. This was the 13th Squirrel Run.

Korean War Veterans Memorial

Korean War Veterans Memorial in Quincy, on Hancock Street. This memorial is across the street from the World War II memorial in Merrymount Park.

Egret

On the day I saw the ducks, I decided to head over to Sailor's Home Pond to see if they eventually got there. While we were watching the ducks, this beautiful snow white egret decided to land.

This was a great day for bird spotting.

Make way for ducklings

A few days ago I was walking around Quincy, and look what crossed my path. This duck family was heading for (although right now they were heading in the wrong direction) the "Sailor's Home Pond".

Looks like California

This is a house that I found on Elm street in Quincy. It is a little different, because it has red tiles for the roof, instead of the usual black asphalt.

I love it, it seems very California in the middle of New England.

The John Adams/John Adams memorial

This is the memorial that I posted about yesterday. It has a picture of John Adams and John Quincy Adams. The memorial reads "John Adams John Quincy Adams, Father and Son, Second and Sixth President of the Nation, Statesmen Diplomats Patriots Builders of our great republic, They labored in the vanguard of human democracy on this soil".

Right now the memorial is in Merrymount Park, but up to very recently this memorial was next to Black's Creek.

Lighting, but green

This is the solar panel that powers the lighting in Merrymount park. Not only does it power the lights for this John Adams and John Quincy Adams memorial, it also powers the World War 2 memorial that I showed a couple of days ago.

No Punning

My friends and I found this sign in Magazine Beach in Cambridge. It originally said "No Running", but someone decided that "No Punning" was better.

City Daily Photo is doing funny signs as its theme day today. (I'm not a part of City Daily Photo, but I like to follow the theme days). Check out their funny signs photos.
