Water on Wednesday, Outdoors and Wordless!

The shrub roses are blooming, the poppies are fading, the irises are iffy, and the grapes are going gang-busters . . . but today, it's not flowers and plants at That Old House, but rather water at our family's Beach House on eastern Long Island's North Fork . . . .

*************************************

It's Wednesday, and I'm posting a double-hitter -- Wordless Wednesday, hosted by Dixie at French Lique (click here!) and Outdoor Wednesday, hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer (click here!).

Thanks to Susan and Dixie for all their fuss and bother in hosting -- Mr. Linky has been giving all our gracious hostesses fits lately!

*************************************




and. . .

Crossing the Hudson River, from New York City to New Jersey,
on the lower level of the George Washington Bridge (aka "Martha"). Back home. -- Cass

    I came over from Old Centennial Farm House and I have to say that your house is gorgeous! I live in a tiny town and also in an old house, but not the one I want. There's a big old, rundown house here in town that I pine for! I want to buy it someday and fix it up - I have no idea how we'll ever do it on our limited income (I'm a stay-at-home mom, husband is laid off) but a girl's gotta have dreams, right?!
    I plan to get lots of inspiration from your blog!
    Have a great day!

    Now that is one nice view. The photo on the GW bridge made me a bit homesick for NY. I wanted to comment on your post last time with your sweet parents. 60 wonderful years is lovely. My Mom had Alzheimer's too. I wrote about it in my Moms day post. I love your old hardware post. When I closed my parents home I took all the old hardware with me and use the the cut glass knobs in my home now.

    Thanks for visiting me today. I am not sure, but I think this is my first visit to your blog. Love the header picture. Had to read back a few posts, since you were making me laugh. Enjoyed the salt and pepper one too. Since I have not checked the comments on that yet to see if your question was answered I will put in my two cents worth. As far as I know, the smaller holes is the salt and the larger holes the pepper. I hope you eventually get your porch finished. Loved all the water pictures too!!

    Somehow the Atlantic Coast will always call my heart, however much I love my life on the Pacific coast. I guess it's in my blood.
    Beautiful images.
