This was photographed today just before our now daily rain started. Once these steps led to a small courtyard behind the Historical Society building. The courtyard has now gone under a smothering blanket of barberries, weeds, and creepers. The steps were cleared of weeds, and white wood asters, heart leaved asters, and the blue stemmed goldenrod were left in place.
The steps have a mysteriousness to them. They have the look of a lost garden in Italy-
The two planters were designed by Marian from Rochester NH, a volunteer at the Gardens.
