The a/c is blasting again. If it’s not on, it gets stuffy in here. I was hoping for temps in the 70s and I see on the weather now that we will be getting some rain! It’s been dry too.
Here are the promised photos of the compacts I got at the weekend yard sale. My mom recognized the name of the designer on the aqua one, Richard Hudnut and it may be from the 1930s.

I was going through a plastic shoebox and found a list of bushes, trees and perennials that I identified around the yard in the 1990s(which may or may not be correct):
Spotted Dead Nettle-spreading perennial
Emerald ‘n’ Gold Euonymus
Golden Euonymus
Dwarf Lily of the Nile (purple flower looks like hyacinth)

Here’s my photo set at Flickr if you want to see a lot of the above mentioned greenery. I’m proud of myself for knowing so much of what is in my yard!

Speaking of IDs-here’s the one from about 1981 when I was young and free. : ) It’s now West Chester University, but it started out as West Chester Teacher’s College. I was born in that town too.
