Golf was interesting this year

So I learned a lot about my golf game this year. The golf league at Foxfire provided an education for KP and I. I never felt like it was the place to take out the iPhone 8 to take photos during league play. That serious, yes. At least that’s the way I interpreted it. We…

Don’t eat that, Ellie B

My dear wife Karen told me I had to go take a photo of something out in the corner of our backyard here in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I grabbed my iPad Pro and out the back door through the slight mid-October drizzle I went. Did a neighbor kid send something over the fence?…

Rudy’s rocks, even when it’s closed

The kids know where there’s a great natural supply of rocks for their painting jones. The food stand on the shore of Lake Ontario is closed for the season, so terrific daughter Elisabeth, sensational significant George Three and my dear wife Karen had plenty of space to roam searching for the right rocks for the…

Then she took it inside here in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville as the Central New York temperatures started to chill for October. You know, Hawaii fruit and all. The pineapple started to…

Let’s go with the spare Orange look for Halloween

Walking through the blocks surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville with Ellie B and my dear wife Karen, I spotted a lawn decked out for Halloween with just the right amount of flourish for me. A wispy little ghost with a pumpkin-head caught a breeze from the center tree while seasonal…

Late bloomers

The Gerbera daisies are still kicking up a storm in mid October in the backyard here in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I’m so glad my dear wife Karen put them in the earth months ago. She has mentioned how she wondered if this was a batch that would go bloodless all year long. Nope.

Lights and boats

The boats were not quite all gone from the past busy season at Onondaga Lake Yacht Club marina. The lights were not quite all put up for the upcoming Lights on the Lake extravaganza. But this juxtaposition this week made for one heck of an October comparison.
