Our first trip to one of my favorite places in Old Saybrook...
the old town dump!
yup you heard that right.
For some of you that have read my blog for awhile might remember that I
took you here last year.
It's kind of a secret place that the townie's don't like to share with the
summer folk.
Well, first it's not that big but it's the prettiest and most naturally landscaped.
In the back of the property the towns people can bring there fall leaves for composting.
That's also where they can come and get compost for
FREE!!!
Now you know why I don't want to let it out about this place!! haha
This year there's a bumper crop of dianthus Sweet William and tons of
Coreopsis. Last year it was a different coreopsis that was growing in abundance.
Not sure if it was later in the season that we saw it but I don't see anything else growing.
That's nature.....it's just going to do what it wants.
I saw some california poppies along the bank that I'll have to come back for.
Altered a little
Original
Ok I'm going to stop talking and just let you enjoy in peace!
Wish I lived in that house in the distance.
Ok just had to say it....I know you're thinking the same thing:)))
Hope you enjoyed our old dump!!!
maybe we'll catch you there sometime!
Have a good rest of the weekend and thanks for stopping by!!!!

Wow... amazing! I wish we had a dump with flowers and FREE COMPOST!! We have a small transfer station, in a town of about 1,000.... it is a nice clearing in the forest, however, some lovely native grasses and a variety of black, white and yellow birch trees skirt the edge of the field before the pine and hemlock woods begins... it has its own charm, but YOUR dump sure is a wonderful secret!!
we've been trying to get our prairie with more flowers by seeds....plants........to a very slow progress
maybe I should just leave it alone and it'll look like that! I WISH!
beautiful dump Carole :)
Wow! That is not what I remember a town dump looking like! Thank you for the beautiful photos and yes I would want to live in the fabulous house too! Theresa
We used to go to the dump in the evening to watch the bears rummage.
There weren't any flowers....just garbage!
Prettiest dump ever! :)
What a beautiful place.
I'm speechless! Lovely...

my backyard looks like the town dump. I just wish it looked like THAT town dump! Beautiful! And yes, I was wishing that I lived in that house!
Dear Carole,
Well, it is so pretty that I think you should re-name it. The 'dump' doesn't seem quite appropriate really !!!! Your photos are so lovely. Isn't it a wonderful time of year ?

I am visiting via Renee Fineberg's post where she included us in her planters post. So very nice to meet you!
Fondly,
