This was an unusual sighting at the canal… And the current flora in the neighborhood: And a boy in a tree: Tried a couple of different layouts today, instead of the usual one-after-the-other. Do you like it? I’m not sold one way or the other…
There are quite a few memes circulating, as usual, that no one cares about your bread/run/anything they’re not doing. I assume the person posting doesn’t care about them*, but that’s not generalize-able to “no one” or “everyone.” I know personally half a dozen people who have made recipes in the last month that a friend … Read more
Walks around the neighborhood. The last couple of months have included so many walks, runs, bike rides around the neighborhood. Some of the scenery is the same.

Much happier with the results this time! And I’m just delighted with my mini roses! The pink ones—which were not my favorite—are blooming … Read more
