Megan's Donation and Their House

A few days ago Megan, a neighbor, asked if I would want some Jack-in-the-Pulpits for the shade garden that is part of Prospect Gardens.  They are painting their house plus Megan and her husband, Brit, are redoing the flower beds.

Being somewhat unable to say "no" to an offer of plants, I accepted. It was easy to say "yes" because the shade garden has room for more plants. Other sections of the garden are approaching a full status which helps me graciously say "no thank you" to many more donations that I would otherwise accept.

Megan's and Brit's house is one of the oldest in the neighborhood. We have pictures of the house with the original owners gardening on the land that is now our lot and the one between our home and Megan's and Brit's. You can also see open land to the south where the Prospect Gardens are now located. Our home was built in 1926.

So much has changed since then. Yet the charm and grace of this neighborhood continues.
