The procession of baby birds continues

On a recent work break walk, we caught mama bird leading her brood from the street to the sidewalk in our Village of Liverpool street adjacent to the library. Everybody and everything stopped for them. That is my best wish, anyway. Mama decided they’d had enough of sidewalk.

Much action at the local film hub

My dear wife Karen and I heard a lot of big bangs a weekend ago. We wondered where they were having a fireworks display so late, what with our Liverpool neighborhood of Galeville being smack dab in the middle of many places where they hold these things. But, no, we found out when we visited…

What kind of tree is this?

My daily walk to the nearby Dunkin‘ Donuts brought me past a beautiful, flowering tree. In fact, there are two, side by side. Can anybody give me some help as to what type of tree I am passing?

May the flags be with you

The folks at Nichols in the Village of Liverpool have had the flags flying for several weeks now. I think the chance to say Happy Memorial Day Weekend is good timing to share the pretty American scene.

A contrasts of color in the village backstreets

One street up from Onondaga Lake. One street down from the bustling business district. It’s hard to believe the beautiful country scene is right on my work break walk. But this bust-out of spring, ah, it is. Thank you for the colors, Mother Nature.

I spotted a sign of Orange support while walking with my colleagues during our break at the library. Up high, on the roof of The Retreat, between the beautiful white blooms. The Syracuse squad tackles Cornell in the first round of the men’s college lacrosse playoffs on Sunday in the Carrier Dome. There’s no doubt…

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…

Here’s to your eggs-cellent day

May you hop to a great Sunday. Thank you again to the folks at Nichols for brightening up the Village of Liverpool on the run up to our big days. Ballantyne Gardens workers get it right every holiday, I think. May you and yours enjoy Easter.

Ready for the long rake job
