Circles for August
The lawn looks less dry this month. Interesting year, this.
Thick as can be
I can picture this year’s crop of Black-Eyed Susan’s being used to drape over the back of a winning horse.
Here comes the purple
There has turned out to be more than white blooms this season with the front Rose of Sharon. One vibrant purple, to be exact.
Beer and hockey
Thirsty this summer of our stay-at-home for a bonus beer, a brew that George Three had given to me a bit ago was discovered safely in the fridge. Syracuse Crunch Amber Ale, a craft brew named in honor of the 25th anniversary season of our city’s American Hockey League squad. It sure tasted good. And…
Two busy trails
It was 90 degrees and not even noon on a recent Saturday at Onondaga Lake Park. My safe walk showed me that people want to be out and about.
Now they relax
I kept my mask on during a recent safe stroll through Onondaga Lake Park. Some folks using the picnic benches … no. The benches were all at least six feet apart.
Almost singular
The Rose of Sharon seem to be keeping to themselves this year.
A keeper regardless
My dear wife Karen has let this grow tall. I don’t know if it’s a weed or a plant, but I definitely dodged it with the mower. Don’t want to anger Jack or the Giant, either. And now she tells me, it’s a sunflower and we’re waiting for the flower part!
Take your pick and stay safe
My dear wife Karen has established three distinct seating areas in our wonderful backyard oasis. Best for social distancing and everybody’s safety if and when the kids and/or neighbors Georgia and Bert come over for a bit.
Cool contrasts
Suddenly I appreciated the lie of the purple pointing out the glory of the red roses out front. Thanks for the direction.
