Wednesday is a walking day with Broxo at the town beach at #WestIsland in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts. He played with some of his dog friends, but at first it was just the two of us.

I love these shots of Broxo zooming down the beach straight at me to report on his discovery of friends.

The #Fairhaven #Massachusetts Visitors Center is housed in an 18th Century building, so my dooryard garden is planted with herbs and flowering perennials that would have been available in 1798 when the building was built. The common orange #daylilies are starting to pop up.

In my coastal #Massachusetts planting zone (7a), #Rosemary can winter over in south-facing areas, especially close to a wall that reflects the warmth back at the plant. This variety "Arp" is particularly hardy here. This has been growing for years now in the #Fairhaven Visitors Center herb garden. I have cuttings rooting indoors.

About 4.5 inches of #snow in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts this morning. My work time was delayed a couple of hours, so I could take a few #dog photos. His name is Broxo, after a graphic novel written by a friend of ours.

On Tuesday I read this book to a class of third graders. It is about a young man who became the first #Japanese person to live in the United States in the 1840s, right here in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts. Many Japanese visitors come to Fairhaven because of the connection with #Manjiro #Nakahama. #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #USHistory #Japan

In our town, there have been reports of robins stripping the holly berries from trees, but my #winterberries, Ilex verticillata, are all still here. #NativePlants #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #Massachusetts.

Four years ago Broxo came to our house to live! He was 8 weeks old and one of a litter from my sister's Mini Aussies. #MiniAussie #MiniAustralianShepherd #dogsofmastodon #FairhavenMA

The Romanesque style Millicent Library in #Fairhaven #Massachusetts was financed by industrialist Henry H. Rogers of the Standard Oil Co. in memory of his daughter who died at the age of seventeen. It was designed by architect Charles Brigham and was dedicated January 30, 1893, what would have been Millicent's 20th birthday. The tower of the Unitarian Memorial Church, also a Rogers and Brigham collaboration, is to the left in the background. #architecture #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #library

These cannon have been in my hometown since before the Civil War, but Fort Phoenix itself was originally built in what is now #Fairhaven between 1775 and 1777, only to be destroyed by British troops in September 1778. There are five of these Seacoast Defense guns here. They are fired with blank charges of black powder a few times a year. (I hold a #Massachusetts cannon firing license.) #FortPhoenix #Cannon #History #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #BuzzardsBay

Limestone carving above the east entrance of #Fairhaven High School in #Massachusetts. Italian stone cutters were brought to America to work of the buildings donated to the town by Standard Oil Co. executive Henry H. Rogers (1840-1909). The building was dedicated in 1906. #architecture #scuplture #FairhavenMA #SouthcoastMA #school #Elizabethan

Outdoors in pots, I just planted seeds of flowering raspberry (Rubus odoratus), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), wild strawberry (Fragaria virginiana), red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), foxglove beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis), and New England aster (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) that I bought from the Wild Seed Project in Maine. I also started more butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) from seed I gathered from my own plants. #NativePlants #Gardening #SoutheasternMA #FairhavenMA
