While everyone was busy going to the stores early in the morning, we were driving home so my brother could make it to an appointment he had in the afternoon. I was still half asleep trying to keep myself entertained by taking photos out the car window. These are the early ones, before [...]

Thanksgiving Day
Posted in Garden, Nature, Sky, Tree on November 29, 2008 | 5 Comments »
We spent Thanksgiving Day in PA at my Aunt and Uncle’s home. Believe it or not, it was nice to get out of the snow for a little while (it’s too early for snow here)! When I walked in to their house this painting caught my eyeballs:
In which I asked my Uncle “where’d [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m going to be working across the street from this building!
but I’m still going to be able to see all the little cuties once a week (wow, I need a new photo of this little fellow, he is growing right up):
Where I Have Much To Say. . .

but I can’t say it right now, until I get some details worked out. But my work life is about to change and I’m *very* excited!!
I spotted this monument / statue near the end of one of our walks in Mt. Hope Cemetery:
I totally love the workmanship. Just look at her dress, the folds of [...]
Snow!

Our first snow was actually on October 29, 2008, just a spitting snow, and any snow since then has been a spitting snow. But this morning while I was getting ready for my walk, it started to snow! And it stuck. For a little while, that is. I love a little bit of snow [...]

Now you all know I love old buildings, but when I saw a post on Confessions of a Preservationist labelled Architectural Eye Candy. . . key to urban redevelopment? I had to read on. And near the bottom of the post was a link to Village of Joy’s 50 Strange Buildings of the World.

I left home at 6am yesterday morning heading for Syracuse (for a well deserved day off from the day care to volunteer to work at the Onondaga Historical Association – yes, I’m a big nut, taking off from work to go work somewhere else, but I *love* going to OHA)! It was completely dark at [...]
One HUGE Leaf!

How big do you think this leaf is? It’s hard to tell! When I saw it my eyes just about popped out of my head.
My foot is size 7.5 and it’s still huger than that. Nothing like a Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubrus) leaf.
And yes, I had a professor who hated it [...]
Happy Veterans Day
Posted in Dad on November 11, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I used to call my Dad every Veterans Day to wish him a happy day, and I really miss doing that. But now, I would like to wish every veteran a happy day. Because you all deserve it. I have a brother who saw quite a bit of action as a Navy Seal, and he [...]
