Autumn moon in the morning

I was glad this October morning when a library work task took me from my upstairs desk outside. A look up at the corner in the Village of Liverpool allowed me a terrific glimpse of a morning moon. I was tremendously glad that this happened to be my week to work at the library and…

In search of the meaning

Our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle searches for the key to keep good things in our backyard during this month of October. I hope this pretty sunrise counts in her book, too.

I like them apples

My dear wife Karen took on a Saturday adventure with our great friend Georgia.

Georgia had volunteered to guide a somewhat reluctant Karen through the making and baking processes. Success, my…
