Life with cats, and other things…
Grant persuaded me this morning to take a wee ride and I used the opportunity to do some drive-by shooting. As it were. Photos, that is. Not ideal, shooting from a moving vehicle, as I've said before, but one tries. Even if some of the images are unconventional. We ventured to Jo-Ann's across the Hudson … Continue reading Drive by shooting?
A break in the clouds. I hope it means clear skies ahead....for everyone Ever since I came back east, I've been "shooting" the sky. Except on a plain grey day, such as we have now, there is always something different to view. Some new form of art. Things that fly have always caught my attention, … Continue reading A healthy addiction
Thanksgiving? OK, we'll be off now. Here's something to be thankful for: Water. Not having much in the way of water pictures, given that I am a landlubber these days, I'll decorate with random other images... What do you know! This is Lake Cooper, WA. Anyway, Water. I am grateful for water. It is so … Continue reading Wednesday thanks
Thanks for the long road I have travelled It may seem a little strange, but I am thankful to have been born in 1948. WW2 had been over, almost 3 years when I was born. But we lived in London till I was 8 and the wreckage was still very evident when I was a … Continue reading Tuesday thanks
First dawn picture Without a doubt, one of the things I am most grateful for is that quite suddenly and unaccountably, in June 2018, I spontaneously emerged from a years-long funk and made the decision to sell my over-sized house outside Seattle and return to New York. The decision to move to Seattle had been … Continue reading Monday thanks
It's the Sunday before Thanksgiving and I was thinking of what I should be thankful for. In my case, of course, there are so many things. But I was thinking of specifics. Maybe each day I'll list one. In no particular order. Authors came immediately to mind, naturally. How many have helped me through this … Continue reading Sunday thanks
Having found a route for small vehicular excursions recently, and noting the cloud conditions, we decided yesterday to go off looking for a sunset. My house is beautifully located for the rise, but the setting sun descends beneath the hills behind. So leaving the cats slumbering, off we went. When last we did this trip, … Continue reading A brief excursion
So it turns out that we are in the middle of a small soap opera. This started with a request for the name of a snow removal company. Which we thought we had. Yesterday I mentioned that we got in a muddle because "our guys" had split up and there were a couple of "Bob's", … Continue reading Chaos
When I moved to Cambridge in 2018, I signed up with all the same utilities the previous tenants had employed. After all, I didn't know anyone else to call. Pretty much, it worked out. Then in March this year, I got a letter, followed by an email, from the company that takes care of both … Continue reading Life in a small village
Willow is a big fan of sun spots. On a bright day she follows them around, squeaking with delight. Over the weekend, I too was squeaking. Though not with delight. It's a sorry tale. (Not that sorry.) "Pain Management" and I were not getting along. So I chose a different approach. On Thursday, I sought … Continue reading Sad condition
