The 139th Running of The Travers Stakes...

I will simply leave a link to the post I put in my other blog, today.

Since it's the big news of the day, around this city.

Please click and read here. Please and thank you.

Dig this!!!

A hole has been dug. But why? This is High Season and no unnecessary digging can be done in the city, now.

But, this is ongoing work. Fire hydrants are being replaced. So this kind of digging can be done, even in High Season. Even though it may bother tourists and summer season visitors.

Drip... Drip... Drip...

Our Summer weather, most of this year...

Driveways... Like old

Driveways... Done the 'old way.' Or at least, looking like the 'old way.'

The "Pink Sheet"

Getting ready to sell the "Pink Sheet," a staple in Summer in Saratoga, at the Saratoga Thoroughbred Race Track.

The "Pink Sheet" is a special edition of the local newspaper, containing a section, printed on pink paper... Containing everything you want to know about the races of the day.

Young people gather in photo above, to get their papers to sell and to be assigned where to sell them. What spots around the entrances to the thoroughbred track.

This was taken from a moving car, so it's not very clear. But you can still see the bright pink t-shirts/caps they wear. One of our granddaughters is selling it, again this year. About 4 hours of sell, sell, sell! In any/all weather. Sunny... like the day I took this pic. And heavy rain, rain, rain ... like too many days, last week.

Hanging plants...

Vines and hanging plants decorate an old building on Church Street, in summer. Both on the fire escape, and in window boxes...

Dripping...

This photo, sums up our weather.

And sums up how everyone and everything is feeling, in our weather.

Views, seen through..........

Urns, see through trees...

Window details, seen through a fence...

Entryway, though fence... This house is said to have been rented by {click-->} Lillian Russell when she came to Saratoga Spgs. in the High Season of August, at the turn of the century.

View through the fence, at rear of above house's property... One part of a grape arbor {or perhaps some other vine}, which runs along the side of the back yard and across the back of it {above}. Perhaps in Lillian's day, she strolled there in the late afternoon... Before going in to dress for a dinner party...

In the good old Summer time...

I admit that I've been remiss in getting summer-time pictures, so far this year. But I'm wanting to show something beside Hot Dog stands and "boo-boo's." :-) Soooooooooo...

Sooo, I did the next best thing... Grabbed some photos from last summer, and am re-posting them. I'm sure these places will be just as pretty, this year... When I get to photographing them again. A loved house like this one, never disappoints.
