Encore plus de neige

For some reason Mother Nature will not release her snowy grasp on much of our country this year. There has been talk of an impending storm for days and last night it was upgraded to a blizzard. Today the Governor declared Western NY under a state of emergency. So far we have well over aContinue reading “Encore plus de neige”

Things that can be carried on a bike (#573), the view from my handlebars, and a brief comment…

 On the bike…groceries, sundries, dog food, a gym bag, and an order of moo shoo vegetables. So the weather was just beautiful today and this evening…40F which feels like a heat wave after the past few months. And I was particularly enjoying this sunset as I rode (and pulled of to the side of theContinue reading “Things that can be carried on a bike (#573), the view from my handlebars, and a brief comment…”

The view from my handlebars, a few thoughts on Ash Wednesday/Lent, and things to be thankful for…

So there I was anxious and rushing to get home from the community center on yet another single digit evening so I could make it to the opening time of an online class that began tonight, but then I had to stop for yet another traffic light (pictured above). Why, I thought, did I hitContinue reading “The view from my handlebars, a few thoughts on Ash Wednesday/Lent, and things to be thankful for…”

Things that can be carried on a bike (#470), and on another really cold and snowy evening…

A gym bag containing wet clothes, and $46 worth of groceries. Urban Simplicity.

Another red bird on another single digit day…

You may have gathered by now that I enjoy taking photos of nature in the city of all kinds, including birds. Anyhow, this is one I’ve posted before (but these photos are from today). Its one of a few cardinals that live in the garden of my place of employment. It was–again–another frigid day, andContinue reading “Another red bird on another single digit day…”

And on a really cold and blustery day…

So I only have a very short “commute” to work every day (today, though, was a split shift so I had to commute four times). And I normally don’t complain about this; I actually like the winter. But geeze o’ man… It. Was. Cold. Today. Really cold. The bottom photo is a screen shot fromContinue reading “And on a really cold and blustery day…”
