Quickly, the rest of the first day in NYC…
It was Friday, June 19th, and we'd breakfasted, we'd gelato'd, we'd walked a lot at the Little Island and the High Line, and I was in need of refreshment after all that walking. We'd managed to walk a few blocks to a drugstore on our first night to get bottled water and distilled water, and I have to say it was super fun to carry the two heavy gallon jugs all the way back to the hotel. But on Friday night I wanted something with a little fizz. I decided to see what they had in the vending machines. There was only one, on the first floor, and when I opened the door I was flabbergasted. It...

May ended in a frenzy of Spot-Related things.
So much has happened. First, here's a photo of maybe 30 goslings. Don't think I've ever seen this many at once. On May 20th Spot and I sat down on the dock and then climbed aboard Kevin's sailboat....
Happy Birthday to Me.

Boat Launch!
We launched my boat on April 9th which seemed very early, but Mom looked it up in her journal and says that last year we put it in on April 10th. We didn't go on the boat much last year, though, and...
Happy Spring!
Even though it's suddenly chilly out there that's OK because things are green and soon it'll be warm. The other day when it was a little warmer but not too warm I did yoga out in the fenced yard...
March…
...and we're already into April. How do I never have time to just sit at my laptop, typing in stuff? I must make more time for this. I don't know how. Eventually, maybe, I'll figure it out....
More in February as March wraps up…
How how how did it get to be the last week of March? It's because no matter what, time keeps marching on. Here's Les on Feb. 16th as a deer approaches the feeder. The next day the deer was right up...
February Mostly Cats
First of all, let me just say that right at this moment, 3:00 on a sunny and very windy March afternoon...it's 72 degrees outside! So this'll be quick because I need to go right out and enjoy the...
