The azaleas were spectacular next door to 102 at the Clark Meadow, as we are currently calling it, after Jonathan Clark, who planted it and tended it for the past four decades. It also helps us to know where things are as the garden moves through the spring and summer.
We had a group from The Hartford come in today to help with moving some of the stuff out of the house at 102 Huntington Street.
The real reason I was at the house today. It’s getting very close to being done.
Their dumb luck they were standing there as I walked out of the house holding my camera, but they do take a nice photo.

The Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association (AHNA) organized a breakfast for its partners in the neighborhood. The breakfast was held in Drew Chapel at the Asylum Hill Congregational Church (AHCC). It was part “state of the community” presentation and part fundraiser for AHNA, and it was a rather successful event.
Speakers included David MacDonald, executive director, AHNA; Janine McMahon, chair, AHNA; Arunan Arulamapalam, mayor, City of Hartford; and Ted Carroll, who is a member of both AHNA and the AHCC.
Fun fact I learned at this event: Arunan Arulamapalam and his wife Liza, who is a pastor at Center Church downtown, were married by Erica Thompson, the senior pastor at AHCC.
Okay, so it isn’t really 50 Huntington Street. It’s 48 Huntington Street, as it’s part of the property that includes the apartment building to its south. We’ve been ogling the lot for its potential to build another house, like the ones at 52 and 54, and occasionally I go over and take a photo of it. This photo, which is really of The Hartford’s office tower more than it is a photo of the lot, just struck my fancy.
