First Full Day in NYC!
Well, here are some of the photos from our first day - we were busy and of course I took more than one million pictures. Even though I've whittled them down to way less than a million, I still have to break up our first day into two segments. So this should really be titled "The First Part of our First Full Day in NYC." The day started in an exciting way with a whole lot of ironing. Amy had graciously helped me buy many lovely new outfits to take on our trip, plus it's nice to have them because I was so sick of most of my clothes.

White Pelican Duet
When Spot and I sit down at the dock I end up taking so many pictures, and on this day, Oct. 14th, quite a few pelicans were paddling around. These two caught my eye. My favorite photo, a two-headed...
So much rain this Sunday
When I got up this morning there was already over three inches of rain in the rain gauge and I'm just realizing that I should go down to the dock and make sure that the boat is lifted far enough out...
Getting Stuff Done on Sunday Morning
Well, getting stuff done on the computer, anyway. I want to do some weeding out front because there's a crazy amount of pretty big things growing, plus it's cool and the ground is soft. I'm also...
Moon Rising in September
Whew. It was rainy and relatively mild this morning so I spent a half hour digging up more little chameleon plants that have sprouted up because we've been having lots of rain. It was nice to not...
