A road worth taking

So sometime in December I got a text from my dear wife Karen asking me which Bruce Springsteen song was my favorite. Thought so, she answered to my reply. At home, she told me she’d been talking about the Boss with co-workers. Cool. Then I opened holiday presents and unrolled this poster. She spotted it…

So much to clear

Maybe we didn’t get the two feet top end the weather folks had warned me about when we were heading into the storm that came to our neck of the world last weekend. No matter the final count. When I went out front of A Bitty Better in our Galeville neighborhood in Liverpool on Sunday…

And it’s still coming down

The TV weather folks are telling me this Sunday morning that we’ve gotten 8 to 12 inches. We can expect another 4 to 5 inches as we go about our business around Syracuse, N.Y., this Sunday in late January, 2019. How much did we get, exactly, since I cleared everything off Saturday around A Bitty…

Before the big snowfall

With all of the weather forecasts telling me we were in for as much as two feet of snow between 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday, I decided it would be a good time to take stock of how the front and back looked at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville…

Maybe we can make these at home

A Friday night dinner at, yes, TGIFs, pleased my dear wife Karen and I probably more than expected. We wanted to remember what went into their Blood Orange Cooler. Yes, my dear wife is the type who will buy those ingredients and whip one up at home. We also went for the Pot-Stickers an appetizer.…

Looking more than present-able

Now there’s a daughter who’s happy with the jacket given to her as a Christmas present. Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle is pretty psyched that the kids were here for a visit. (And bringing wine glasses for my dear wife Karen.)

Definitely frozen

On a work break walk Wednesday, I got my first good look at Onondaga Lake since our big January freeze. Yes, the big lake in Liverpool has definitely frozen over. So why the heck did Edina and I think we had to walk? Brrrrr.

The path will get beaten

So this is what a cold January morning can look like in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Note how our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle carefully picks her way around the pool – yes, that is our covered in-ground smack dab in the middle – and the rest of the backyard, too.
