This boat goes from here to there

The boat is back near the neighbor’s driveway near a Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. It’s a stretch to fit this baby in the front yard. I’m talking about the boat on the left, naturally. Although the boat on the right would suffice for a trip out on any of the waters…

Our first snow

I knew the weather folks were right when I let Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle out to do some /ate/early business around 3:30 a.m. When I’d returned home to A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville from bowling last night, it was a rainy mess. But overnight it had turned cold. We have…

Galeville in its fall PJs

Our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle will not relinquish her walk through the blocks surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville just because more cold weather is moving in. Thank you for this bit of lasting beauty.

Early morning, Village of Liverpool seems happy

The sun is rising later and later as we move into November. So I left a little earlier than usual for my job at the library to poke around for some early morning sights in the Village of Liverpool. In fact, the street lights along First Street had yet to extinguish themselves. The sun had…

How fast will they trot?

My mind is the thing that raced when I say this sign during a break walk from my work at the library. Why are they calling the runners for this event turkeys? Oh, wait. Thanksgiving is approaching!

A feast of an anniversary at Santangelo’s

I’ll say this for Santangelo’s. They were as ready for my dear wife Karen and I’s anniversary dinner as we were. And my better half had done things up right during her break from class on a Friday, going to the folks who do nails as part of their learning plan to have a pair…

One more winter step for the pool

My thought process led to another step in the closing of the backyard pool in this first fall and coming winter in A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. I purchased a bunch of the long, tall sticks that most folks use to mark their driveway lines for the plowing service, and a…
