MERION STATION POST OFFICE

MERION STATION POST OFFICE

This is a close up of Merion Station Post Office.  It was built in 1914 and is a designated historic building.  I was drawn to this painting because of the two shades of red orange, one brick and the other rust, sandwiching a lovely dusty blue.  

While looking for the date of construction, I came upon this very interesting article written by Theodore Roosevelt called MODEL MERION.  It praises the Merion Civic Association, which seems to have been very active and extremely helpful to the citizens at that time.  It also shows Roosevelt's views on the responsibilities necessary for a citizen in a Democracy. It is definitely worth reading.  Thanks to the Merion Civic Association for keeping this letter on their web site and for continuing to fight the good fight to keep Merion a lovely place to live.

It is summer, no coats necessary, the breeze smells like new mown grass and the rocking chair waits for someone to enjoy the porch and the passersby.

EVENING LIGHT ON BEACH HOUSE

Summer is winding down and if you haven't been to the beach you probably are longing for a sniff of the sea and a moment or two to gaze out at a great expanse of ocean.  How nice it would be to have a house like this one to visit anytime you longed for that experience.

It is a precarious place to live these days but perhaps that even adds to the romance.

It's always nice to know there is a way out.  If only all of life's sorrows had an easy escape hatch with a guiding light over the door.

These 'Mahagany' Bee Balm filled my garden with their exotic beauty for most of July.  The bees and the butterflies love them and their piquant scented leaves are a wonderful addition to the banquet of fragrances floating through the garden in the summer.

This combination of coleus, sweet potato vine and the Cordyline Australis with its exotic bluish leaves is one of the best color combinations I have 

found for my barrel of eye fun.
