Here come the boats

Three cheers for the warmer weather. The boat owners are bringing their vessels back to the Onondaga Lake Yacht Club marina. Soon enough, there will be a line to get them in the water.

A different perspective on lake houses

My co-workers Edina, Laura and I have picked up our break walk routines lately. They pointed out how several of the houses we pass on the short part of the trail at Onondaga Lake Park we’re able to navigate look really big on their back side. I agreed, and picked out the two I thought…

Racing to find that sound

A recent weekend visit to Nichols to buy some staples also led to a stray toward Onondaga Lake when the return trip to my car included some sounds coming up from Onondaga Lake. People were doing something down at the park, I thought. The sound that was carrying up the two blocks was people cheering…

The color of winter

White snow, gray skies, ice a mix of slate. You’d think that an afternoon break walk from the desk at the library could bring nothing but a stark picture of the season. Even without the sun or a blue sky, you’d be wrong. A ribbon of glory awaits where the sky and land kiss and…

How fast will they trot?

My mind is the thing that raced when I say this sign during a break walk from my work at the library. Why are they calling the runners for this event turkeys? Oh, wait. Thanksgiving is approaching!

A wheelie cool lineup

On the break walk from my library workplace, the lines of the bicycles available for rent by CuseCycle caught my eye. They’re available right outside the Salt Museum. If you’re looking for something to pedal down the Onondaga Lake Park path. Which I’m not.

Merging the seasons surprises Dogamous Pyle

A weekday off from the workplace at the library and nice autumn weather led to a special treat for Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle and I. Our cherished rescue mutt was thrilled to hop in the car at A Bitty Better in the Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville for the couple-mile ride to Onondaga Lake Park.…
