On the wall, with love

My wonderfully talented daughter Elisabeth has done it again. She made one of her Mother’s Day presents for my dear wife Karen, with some carpentry help from significant George Three. It’s beautiful.

And this stretch of houses offered my cherished rescue mutt and I some different perspectives on our new neighbors. Ellie B was sad that the…

Pinwheel type of weather

As I was walking the streets surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle, my cherished rescue mutt and I spied some neat spring decorations.

Wow, our pretty little tree has white flowers

We’ve been wondering what color the tree smack dab in the middle of our front yard of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville would be, this being our first year here. We found out. White, it is. Deep, true white. A good match to the deep purple of the leaves we saw…
