Our first snow

I knew the weather folks were right when I let Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle out to do some /ate/early business around 3:30 a.m. When I’d returned home to A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville from bowling last night, it was a rainy mess. But overnight it had turned cold. We have…

Galeville in its fall PJs

Our cherished rescue mutt Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle will not relinquish her walk through the blocks surrounding A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville just because more cold weather is moving in. Thank you for this bit of lasting beauty.

One more winter step for the pool

My thought process led to another step in the closing of the backyard pool in this first fall and coming winter in A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville.

BW Challenge, A Bitty Better

My friend Christopher Malone put me on his list of folks he wanted to see come up with a black-and-white photo. I said yes. His post came on Facebook, with a list of this-and-that, most of which he bent for his personal satisfactions. Me, too. I’ll post two photos, one right now and the second…

Quite a first pool season

Even with the extended warm weather this fall, the pool in the backyard of A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville must be closed. My dear wife Karen busted her butt keeping that thing clean, full and ready for fun. Knowing that I’m not a pool guy, she promised when we picked this…

Neighborly foresight

I have to hand it to my neighbor in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. He makes the most of a newly arrived golf cart, parked on his front lawn to haul away autumn this-and-that from the pretty gardens always well-tended by he and his wife. He put the pieces together for his mom, he told…
