Down at the square

That’s a big flake. I had a good reason to take a drive to downtown Syracuse around the holidays, so I made sure to park next to Clinton Square. The decorations and skating rink make make me happy every year. I’ll share the scene this holiday week. And, my mission was successful, too. I returned…

Christmas kitty

Izzy under the tree. Terrific daughter Elisabeth texted a photo of kitty Izzy under her and George Three’s tree. We’re all glad Izzy and Vinny allowed their pretty tree to stand. Happy holiday to all.

Fence check

Good line. The wooden-fence line is holding up to its second season of snow on this side of our backyard. Nice to see the straight line holding up.

No brush needed?

Not this day. Here’s where I look when I let the cherished rescue mutt back into the house to note if I need to clear the car from snow before our first out-of-house adventure of the day.

Winter feel

Walk is clear. I have done my job clearing our front walk this month, proof right here. The furnace exhaust pipes get my shovel’s attention, too.

Lake view at sunrise

Cold down there, too. The still feeling on our block as the December sun rose to my left extended all the way down to our slice of lake view. Snowy month indeed.
