Back when I last changed my header photo two seasons ago, my friend Bill of Evil Squirrel’s Nest shouted that he saw one up a tree. A squirrel’s nest, that is. In a tree. In a photograph. In my blog header. Anyway, that’s obviously stuck in my head because walking Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle…
Snow kisses my backyard in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood as we stir on this Thanksgiving morn. It covers the ground and the shed, and hangs on the boughs of those towering pines in the neighbor’s house behind. Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle welcomes the sight and the feel of it. She’s ready for…
A long loop walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle this week took us behind the apartment complex more than a few blocks away from our home in the Syracuse city neighborhood home of Eastwood. I noticed a Fed Ex truck stopped on the extreme right side of the lot, hugging the bit of unkempt…

We knew when we purchased the potted blue spruce in December and proclaimed it our side porch Christmas tree that we wanted to put the baby in the ground after the ornaments were packed away and spring thaw arrived here in our Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. Here’s the pre-Christmas post where I shared the…
Our front yard Robinson flowering crabapple survived its first winter in the Syracuse city neighborhood of Eastwood. The snow, the cold, the wind, the snow, the snow, the cold … our little beauty is entering its second growing season with us in good health. I see the buds to prove it. Lots of bus, from…
I have been worrying about my backyard neighbor’s two enormous pines long enough and hard enough to post two stories about my state of fret. The last time we visited my world of fears, many of you kind friends suggested that I get up off the recliner and do something about it. I called the…
