A great find down the road a piece

They can move the product, too. I’d been looking forward to my dear wife Karen’s company clambake since she came home from the eye center and invited me as her plus-one for an evening of food and fun following a work day. The festivities would be at Heritage Hill, a Brewery and Event Center in…

Worth the wait

Home run over at Elisabeth and George Three’s. That lonely lily put in the ground after a special delivery from a neighbor to Elisabeth and George Three recently yielded its bloom. Wow, is it beautiful! Wide view. And I got to take a phot with my own iPhone during a chicken cookout a few days…

Take us out to the ballgame

Buddies and baseball (and beer). One topic that came up after our golf game the afternoon prior was, which Syracuse baseball park did we like more? The old MacArthur Stadium or the current NBT Bank Stadium? KP leaned toward the old joint and its so-deep center field fence where fly balls went to die in…

Back on the links with KP, Tater and Nolan

Hale, hale, the gang’s all here! KP pointed his great latest car north from Atlanta and decided the change from July to August was the right time to spend some time back in Central New York. First stop for my part in the great reunion week: Green Lakes Golf Course with Tater and Nolan, too.…

Good cover

Privacy plants. We like it when the biggest plants on the kitchen side of our house yield their blooms at this time of year. That only adds to the cover in front of the windows, for those walking their dogs and such, but still allows enough light to pass in during the long days.

Democracy in action

Those kind of bills. Terrific daughter Elisabeth’s new job features day trips that spread hours from our Central New York home city of Syracuse. When she and work colleague landed in the state seat of Albany to share knowledge, they were treated to a tour of the capital building. What a place to work. She…

From up high

Should have brought my Windex. I had to take a photo through the window from the very end of the pedestrian bridge leading to the official Syracuse Nationals car show lot on Solar Street, adjacent to Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA. It gives some perspective to the gathering mass that was…

It takes all sorts

Variety. Before the month is over, I remember that there is this proof of variety remaining unused in my photo roll from the Syracuse Nationals parking lot. So much style from various time periods in a row.

Protecting the plant

Missing the munching. This one new plant did not make the meal plan for the critters that roam the gardens at Elisabeth and George Three’s new house. They are learning a lot this first year on their lovely grounds. The squirrels, rabbits and I don’t even want to think what else have been very, very…

One pretty bloom will do

The survivor. My dear wife Karen placed two bulbs in the corner of the garden fronting our house. Both came up. One of the two yielded its pretty white flower. The other must have been munched in the process, Karen thinks.
