Snowhenge, perhaps?
My imagination runs wild as I walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle around our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I picture these snowmen in a thaw standing like rock on a mountain across the big pond …
Winter’s last stand?
The kiddies built some stuff outside their playground across the street from A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I liked the way they stood up to the latest melt.
I’ll own up to the dirty pile
During the last melt, the stubborn plower’s pile at the end of our driveway at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville was, well, not exactly attractive. From any angle. What was the plow guy going through when he was pushing this stuff off our driveway, I wonder?
The coming of the green?
What does a bit of warm weather bring to our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville? Just a bit of a burst of the perennials. I know they’re very likely to be covered by snow sometime in March. Still, they raise my spirits.
Winter, hovering
Oh, February at Onondaga Lake Park. It can be perfectly peaceful, pre-melt.
Racing to find that sound
A recent weekend visit to Nichols to buy some staples also led to a stray toward Onondaga Lake when the return trip to my car included some sounds coming up from Onondaga Lake. People were doing something down at the park, I thought. The sound that was carrying up the two blocks was people cheering…

The car was still driveable, but there was some dings and dents involved. The insurance company told her what to do, appointments were made…
The sunset made my heart beat faster
As I walked out to the car at 5:30 p.m. to drive for a Valentine’s Day dinner with my dear wife Karen, I noticed this beautiful sunset in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I figured the evening was off to a pretty and proper start. Right I was.
Look at these big, black birds
Ellie B and I spotted a few birds during a recent walk around the blocks of our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Unfortunately, they were all crows. The first we encountered was on the roof of an attached garage. The second sat high amid bare branches. The third chose a perch in an evergreen. Not one…
