A local resident posted these photos, (which were actually postcards from 1933) of our neighbor’s house on our town’s FB page recently.

It’s a beautiful old home which was once a rose garden farm.

That must have been something to see. Can you imagine living next door to acres of roses? The scent would be heavenly.
Less fragrant but no less impressive? Our current neighbor’s vegetable farm across the street.

There’s a long tradition of growing in my little part of the world.

Looks like a lot of land there, and it certainly has been utilized very well over the years.

Flowers make me sneeze and cause my eyes to water. As nice as it sounds, I’d probably be in misery every time the wind blew in my direction.
