Summer Storm 2010
It was a nice summer Saturday here in West Lafayette, Alright it was a bit warmer than nice, but it was not that hot, sticky like Georgia-in-the-summer-time muggy. So it was nice relatively speaking. The heavy storms were due on Sunday, so all was good.
Around about 6:50 my wife was surfing the Internet and said, "Oh, it looks like we should have some potentially severe weather here at about 7:10." So I thought, "ya cool, the wind will blow, we'll get some very cool thunder and lightening, and it will rain a bucket or two and be done."

Art In Bloom 2010
The City's Art in Bloom featured our New Chauncey Neighborhood this year. The annual Art in Bloom program pairs artists with gardeners and their beautiful yards for the public to enjoy.
Signs like these appeared in the New Chauncey Neighborhood leading the way to some of the most beautiful gardens in town.
A large group of visitors took advantage of the warm western Indiana morning and strolled through the streets of New Chauncey.
Every one seems to have a great time. Many just marveled at the beauty and color of the gardens. Others took the time to better understand how the gardens were laid out and how the accessories were crafted. Then of course there were those who while enjoying the gardens and the day, were most interested in the artwork on display. Paintings, jewelry, and stained glass were among the many crafts that were represented on the tour.
Check out more photos of the gardens and art work from the event.
