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.
Falling down
Across the way, the formerly brilliantly red tree is nearing the end of this season’s cycle. It still attracts my attention as early October moves toward the middle.
I like them apples
My dear wife Karen took on a Saturday adventure with our great friend Georgia. They drove the short miles to community farm stand Abbott’s, purchased fall apples, and tackled the project of baking a few October apple pies. Georgia had volunteered to guide a somewhat reluctant Karen through the making and baking processes. Success, my…
Onondaga Lake Marina boats seem just fine

A new spot for the Hawaii hanging fish
I noticed a change of location in A Bitty Better for the hanging fish from Hawaii. They’ve gone from the space between the living room and kitchen to the window in the upstairs guest room. More light to bounce in the blue and green sparkle.
Cool cat out on the water?
Take that one, my colleagues said as we walked on past the Onondaga Yacht Club Marina on our afternoon break. Edina and Laura are way into the boat name game, too. Cat’s out of the bag.
