The above photo was taken in my garden after a rain today. We needed it…it has been hot and humid, but mostly dry this summer. Water is such a natural and precious resource…sometimes (most times) I forget this; most times I don’t even think about it. But I should. It’s beautiful–jiggling and shimmering on aContinue reading “Precious Resource”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#342)…and a brief comment
Things on the bike: A gym bag full of wet clothes and two slices of pizza (yes despite my garden full of vegetables–click here–I had pizza for dinner…I swam an extra 15 laps to earn it). A brief comment, or comment on a brief conversation: The pizzeria is at an intersection and as I exitedContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#342)…and a brief comment”

Lush
Just a couple mid-summer garden photos. Everything is starting to bear fruit. Vibrant colors and flavors. Lush.

Multi-Pug
I took a few pictures of my dogs today and thought I’d share….they crack me up, which means they are doing their job. Pugs, I’ve read, were originally bred to amuse the Emperor of China. I don’t know if it is true or not but they sure amuse me. I’ve always been a “dog person”Continue reading “Multi-Pug”

Cold Food
Like much of the the nation it was hot again today in Buffalo…sticky, humid hot. I had a medium-sized party at work and thankfully much of the food was cold…great for a hot day. Two of the courses–Gazpacho and Salade Nicoise–are also two of my favorite summertime foods. For this reason I thought I’d shareContinue reading “Cold Food”

Bikes and Bread
I came across an article in the New York Times today titled, The Dutch Way: Bicycles and Fresh Bread. Bread and bicycles are two of my favorite things so I’m sure you can picture me like a dog with a silent whistle…my ears perked right up. It’s an article written by an American living inContinue reading “Bikes and Bread”

The Light Is In You
This evening I was looking for a document and remembered it was probably on an old computer, the computer I had before the one on which I type these words. And isn’t it interesting that a computer is considered old if it is a mere 8 or 9 years old (egad, it ran Windows 95).Continue reading “The Light Is In You”

Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#341)…and a brief comment
First the things on the bike: A cardboard box containing 4 loaves of freshly baked multi-grained bread, a canvas bag carrying a few books and writing implements, another canvas bag containing various small tools (for which to change a tire), a dough rising bucket, and a used tire. And a quick comment: As most ofContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried on a Bike (#341)…and a brief comment”

Rouge et Blanc
I came across these two old school cruisers parked a block apart, and both were locked to parking meters. They (the owners) must be together (maybe they had a spat)…what are the odds. Nice old bikes (I bet they weigh almost as much as a Mundo); click it for a larger view.
