Saturday G and I walked around the "All American Selections Display Garden" in downtown Portsmouth, across from Strawberry Banke. Check out this killer plant:
It's called "atropurpureum" and it'll cut you! Other less deadly-looking plants included:
But my most favorite plant was the "chocolate cosmos" flower. It really smells like Cocoa Krispies!!

G and I went down to NYC for 4th of July. Here are some pics:
Ghost bike a few blocks from Penn Station.
Mural near FIT.
Pretty tree grate covering at Rockefeller Center.
We were pretty amazed at this green space on the side of this skyscraper, and even more so when we realized it was Trump Tower.
Our friend Andy's backyard in Chelsea. It's truly an oasis.
Street art.
9/11 memorial.
Police cars ready for a drill in front of the main post office on 8th Ave., across from Penn Station.
And off they go...

G and I went up to Stowe, VT for the weekend to see my sister. We stayed with her at the house where she does caretaking (she lives in the apartment above the garage). This was the view from our bedroom window:
I've spent a fair bit of time in Vermont and I absolutely love it up there, but every time I've visited I've always been like "I could never live out here, it's so isolated, where do people work etc. etc." But after this trip, I was thinking to myself "hmmm...it might not be so bad living in Vermont!" I think it was the total peace and quiet at night that got me. I had the best sleep I've had in months on Friday night. It was so dark and still and relaxing. Plus Stowe is only two hours from Montreal. Two hours! I could definitely deal with being in such close proximity to such a world-class city. That certainly relieves the feeling of isolation. But then again...why not go straight for Montreal? Who knows.
Anyway, my sister's boyfriend is the brewer for The Shed and he generously gave us a tour of the brewery down below the restaurant. Pretty amazing. And of course we had to try their beer sampler, which they call a "Ski":
So delicious! My favorite was the "Mountain Ale," which I believe is the second one from the right. I even liked the stout, and I never drink stouts!
This was the rest stop in Randolph, VT:
