April lake stroll

Water way. With the April weather rollercoasting up and down, I took the chance after dropping my dear wife Karen off for her early morning shift start to visit the way west end of our park next to the lake. The temperature was slightly above freezing. I found sights to share for a nice stretch…

Cats on a leash

Good job, Vinny. Vinny liked his visits to the shed, George reported as we attended our first baseball game of spring. But lugging the more adventurous of the two kittens out in the carrier to share safe outsider time was becoming a bit tedious, he admitted. Elisabeth got on her phone and found a fun…

Blooming time

First out back. Thank you, first spring blooms in our backyard garden. It’s been up-and-down temperature-wise, so this is a victory.

A wide view

Hardy fans. April baseball means bundling up when your hometown squad is the Syracuse Mets. The fans did good. We’ll return soon.

Let the season begin

And Trapper hats, too. What the heck, thought I, when I saw the temperature forecast for our Syracuse Mets home opener. Yes, we’d secured our four seats up close to the field the first day they went on sale. Then … The team put up a special in the Metropolitan Room that included a buffet…

Beautiful puzzle work

Worth the effort. The puzzle provided by terrific daughter Elisabeth provided dear wife Karen many happy moments of making these past few months. You OK up there, I’d aim up the stairs as she worked at her arts/crafts table. Complicated, yes. Beautiful, definitely.
