Chicopee Sunrise

Chicopee is a charming city located in Hampden County in Western Massachusetts. It is part of the Springfield, Mass. Metropolitan area. These pictures are from one morning in early July, beginning with the view from the upstairs office/guestroom window and then from walking around the neighborhood.

I've been having such fun visiting my daughter, son-in-law and their baby TJ in Chicopee, while my guys take care of the house and garden in Tucson, AZ.  Life is sweet. :)

Skywatching in Massachusetts

Trip to bookstore

Over the 4th of July weekend, TJ's mom needed a particular book to prepare a lesson plan for her class.  The libraries were closed so she drove to the bookstore while I admired the scenery and sky from the passenger seat:

Crossing over the Connecticut River

The sky could still be seen from inside the bookstore.

At one month old, Tyler wasn't very interested in the books.  He did enjoy the car and stroller rides.

To see more skies, visit Skywatch Friday hosted by Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and Sylvia.

Red White Blue Flowers

Definitely not desert flowers.  These were taken at my daughter's house in Massachusetts.

Seeing Stars

Stars seem to be a recurring motif around New England.

Happy 4th of July if you celebrate.  :)
