It’s always fun watching the huge schools of bait fish swimming in the lights off the transoms of the boats docked throughout the harbor.

I was surprised to learn that the School Street Sunflower field in Ipswich is still open for a couple of more weekends with new patches of sunflowers expected to peak within that time. It’s a great take to stop for a visit and chat with Paul, the creator of the “Light” themed paths through the field. I took my sister there under threatening skies and gray clouds but it was still spectacular. The light was very interesting and added to the experience. If you go, I suggest purchasing the tickets online here and take notice of the field location on Lowe’ Lane (near the Dairy Queen) as Paul informed us this would be the location of the tulip field next spring. There’s something about sunflowers that just brings a smile out and the welcoming greeting upon arrival is a nice bonus. Well worth the short drive.

Downspouts should terminate at least 6 feet away from the foundation. Making simple repairs like extending downspouts away from the foundation can reduce the moisture level in the basement. A 1000 sq ft roof can result in 623 gallons of water with 1” or rain, so about 150 gallons will end up next to the foundation per downspout if…
