restoring houses can be an art. antique houses usually need either a lot of love or a lot of money.lol . in lieu of the latter i have bestowed a lot of love and hard work on the several (5 or 6) house restoration projects that i've done. this is the house that i restored on river road, village of unionville, town of farmington, connecticut. this house was tons of work and tons of fun too.

the stowe center entrance garden, original garden design by stevenson, f canning. 1978 and 1990 redesign by rob camp fuoco. in my redesigns of this historic landscape i tried to effect h.b.stowes statement that the gardens were a wonderfully overgrown and lush environment (not verbatim) i think the historic landscape now expresses her vision and intent.

this year the stowe center gardens won an award from the garden club of america. since the 1978 and 1990 redesigns we have received many awards and much publicity. but the greatest reward is to see what joy these gardens give to visitors and staff each day.

yesterday we brought four groups together: sharing nature, abilities beyond disabilities, the kids clubhouse, and the stowe center. we got to teach them a little about nature and gardens, and got to learn from the beautiful interaction that occurred. this is a picture of jason , who is developmentally disabled ( i think of him as specially gifted and supercharged with love) and a group of beautiful little kids . jason is leading them in exercises in front of the stowe center in hartford. i couldn't help but feel how joyous h b stowe would have felt if she were watching this from above. disparate peoples celebrating what they all share: the joy of life.

this year i said goodbye to my '69 chevy 3/4 ton stepside truck. bought this truck about 30 years ago for $500 dollars. the gentleman who i bought it from said it would last a year or two. it slept in the yard for 30 winters and then would happily wake up in the spring to make its ceremonial 1 or 2 trips to the farmington dump. it would hall a few tons of gravel for the terraces and also helped me restore about 5 historic houses. in my eyes it looked almost like new lol. my nephew is taking it to the family farm in vermont to restore it and use it up there. i feel like i have lost an old friend and a beautiful piece of sculpture. good bye old friend

these are angel trumpets at beach road. they are also called brugmansia or datura. in south america and africa these plants are used in religious ceremonies because of their narcotic properties. they have an intense odor which most people love , but i find to be a bit 'heady'. (in hindi) थेसे अरे अंगेल त्रुम्पेट्स अत बाच रोड । थे अरे अल्सो काल्लेद ब्रुग्मंसिया और दतुरा.
