It has been unbearably hot and muggy. A good time to get out of the city.
On Tuesday I went to a party at a friend's house on Long Island.
As well as being a very nice person, she has a swimming pool, three dogs and three granddaughters.
Sadie, a friend's toddler, was there too and was most interested in the dogs.
I haven't the least idea who lives in this very traditional house in Tappan, north of the city.
But it struck me as the ideal American house from the beginning of the last century. A bit like the one our children grew up in on Long Island.
While walking the dog, I admired the shadowy greens with light filtering through the trees.
How inviting! Cute kid. I enjoyed your color photo essays too.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, pretty greens, pudgy fun kid legs, Summer escape.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...a nice respite from the city! A very Norman Rockwell kind of house.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, it looks cool and fresh under those trees. what a lovely outing. It's hot and humid here in England today so I'm envious of that as I'm sweltering!
ReplyDeleteThe south has been just as unbearably hot and muggy! Thank goodness for pools, huh? Love the house! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth-- I have an award for you over at my blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteHot and muggy seems to be the name of the game, here in the tropical Northeast.
Icky hot here, too. Edward and I only walk when it's almost dark and cooler!
ReplyDeleteI am having trouble following you around the world, I must remember to add your new blog to my list - I am looking forward to more New York, which holds a bizarre attraction for me (as I am a country type).
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely escape. And friends with pools are very good friends indeed in Summer! Are you still dog-sitting? Or are you refusing to give the dog back? ;D
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you did a good bit of walking!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments on my blog. Yes, I do love hiking and trekking in the mountains, only wished I had more time for it.
Some welcome shady spots to be found in the grounds of that house. x
