This park, covering some five hundred acres, was a gift to the public from the founder of Westfield's Stanhome Company. Among the park's features are recreational fields, gardens, a belltower and fountains, ponds with ducks and swans, and a wildlife sanctuary abutting the river. The extensive flower gardens of the park include hundreds of roses, acres of annuals and perennials, and a woodland wildflower collection. Our home and flower gardens are shown in the above photos. The vegetable garden is hidden from view beside the house.
Winters are cold and snowy in western Massachusetts.
Along the street snowplows often have snow piled level with the mailbox by February. The above photo shows a typical late January picture of our house and drive. Thanks for visiting my home page. If you found it useful, bookmark it for future reference.
