Back Home

A little while ago, Brent came home with me to avoid the Trinity College International Hip Hop Festival. We had a really nice weekend at my house and I took Brent down to Binney Park in Old Greenwich where we played catch for a while and went for a walk.

Before leaving, we saw this chipmunk in my backyard:

No skating on Binney Pond (at least, not when there isn't any ice...):

A long, long time ago, all my neighborhood friends and I used to have a "secret path" from our houses, down through Binney Park, and into Old Greenwich where we'd get bagels at "The Bagel Shop" (now, "Upper Crust Bagel Company"). I was surprised to see our old stepping stones we used to use still in place!

Somehow I remember this waterfall being much bigger than this....

I wonder how many times I sat on this bench with my t-ball, baseball, and then softball teams....

The same old water fountain that was there more than 15 years ago:

A tunnel under the train tracks. I wonder if this is where the mole people live?

And last but not least, an oriole nest right outside my window at home:

All right, back to work getting ready for my last day of class EVER on Tuesday!

Great pics. And I am pretty sure that water fountain has been there longer than 15 years...it was there when I was a kid too. So lets say at least 20 years! Ha!

Congratulations on your last day of class! I can't wait to see the graduation pictures (after finals, of course)!
