The Last Lazy Girl in Manhattan

July Was Yesterday

Lazy Girl has one more snippet of summer in her kit bag. In these weeks before Christmas, it seems like a good time to pull out a memory of a humid day in July when my sister, Jeanne, and I travelled to Sagaponock, a beautiful village in the Hamptons, to visit Jeanne's friend.

Sagaponock is situated on the Atlantic Ocean. Perfectly manicured hedges surround and hide the estates and houses of the privileged few who live there.

 

Jeanne and me on that day in July.

We visited a private sculpture park on someone's lawn.

The property consists of the main house, a small guest house, a larger house which is rented, a renovated barn, a tennis court and pool and numerous garden sites.

An enormous weeping beech tree provides a sturdy limb for a swing.

A rustic fence surrounds the vegetable garden.

One of the lovely gardens on the property.

The barn which was renovated in a post-modern style.

The young folks doing some planting in the garden.

Jeanne packed this marvelous picnic lunch. There is lobster salad in that plastic container.

The end to a lovely visit: A walk to the ocean.

A Bientôt!
