The plow guy has a stake in our place

After careful consideration, my dear wife Karen and I decided to sign a yearly contract with the plowing company that took care of us our first winter at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. Soon after, four stakes were in the ground when I arrived home from my job at the library.…

Nichols Knows It’s Time

The folks at Nichols are ready with a display come every season. The Thanksgiving twist may be a bit, well, self-involved? I’ll give it to ‘em. They work hard to make their stretch of Second Street look good. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Here we go

Here’s what my dear wife Karen and I woke up to outside A Bitty Better in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville on Monday morning. It is the week to give thanks, right? I’m happy it’s supposed to go back up to 50 degrees. Melt, maybe?

Sun reflects a weekend mood

After a big work week at the library, I was glad to put the leash on Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle for a late Friday afternoon stroll through the blocks around A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. The path I chose this time around took us to the bottom of the block,…

A double dose of promise

As my dear wife Karen got ready to leave for school yesterday, she popped back into the front door of A Bitty Better. She proclaimed that the sky was blue in our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville, and it was raining. And there’s a rainbow, she added. I took my iPad Pro off my lap and…

They looked in good form, really

I stepped out from buying my second cup of coffee from Nichols, striding back to the library from my short morning break, when I saw the runners approaching up Second Street. By the time I fished my iPhone 6s out of my pocket, they’d apparently reached their personal finish line. Don’t you think those orange…

I refuse to take the bait except for with my iPhone 6s

I rather enjoy what I spot on the 15-minute break walks from my workplace at the library. Indeed, you can get live bait 24 hours a day in the Village of Liverpool. No, the blocks of First Street do not include a true bait shop. Instead, the worms turn from a soda-like dispenser. It’s at…

This boat goes from here to there

The boat is back near the neighbor’s driveway near a Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville. It’s a stretch to fit this baby in the front yard. I’m talking about the boat on the left, naturally. Although the boat on the right would suffice for a trip out on any of the waters…

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.
