"Goldenrod"

This watercolor was painted on the kitchen granite step of our old 1799 colonial home.

We are fast approaching that time again when the goldenrod and joe-pye weed will be in bloom. The complementary colors work well with an old copper pitcher.

You don't see many iron boot-scrapers at the entries of the new houses that are being built. The houses are no longer being built of chestnut post & beam with oak studding and solid maple floors.

It's all particle board roofs and siding with a stovepipe hidden in a wooden box and thin veneer floors.

This old house has three brick chimneys and five fireplaces.
