LeafFilter gutter protection, and a refinished foyer, living room and hallway. Then there is the land. Across 4.35 acres and three parcels, the family planted and tended a garden that tells time on its own. In February, snowdrops and winter aconite push up through the snow beneath the magnolia, followed by Christmas roses, hepatica and drifts of blue scilla. April brings daffodils, apple blossoms and tree peonies along the south side of the house. When the quince blooms, the orioles and hummingbirds return. Virginia bluebells, bleeding hearts and jack-in-the-pulpit fill the shade, and in a good spring, morels appear. Summer belongs to the pollinators: milkweed, butterfly weed, bee balm and coneflowers busy with bees and tiger swallowtails, and tree toads tucked among the leaves. By fall, persimmons ripen on the branch, goldenrod hums, and surprise lilies rise out of nowhere. Overhead stand a tricolor beech, horse chestnut, tulip poplar, larch and Bloodgood maples, decades in the making. The family kept a record of everything that blooms here, season by season. It runs pages long. Now it's ready to be handed to the next homeowner.
