Our lives are brought together by the things we have in common. We share friendships that have no boundaries. We see things that are truly unique, and things that are the same. Here we will knit together the strands we share...
We went to visit the Statue of Liberty yesterday and waiting in the loooong line in Battery Park, I saw this guy.
What made it even more of a mixed message was the police officer that walked right by him and didn't say anything!!!
As an aside, I felt awful for that big old dog. It was about 90 degrees and that thing looked so uncomfortable in all that fur!
Is it a new kind of toy?
(if you aren't sure what it is, email me and I'll tell ya! funnipharm AT Gmail dot com)
This is a view out the front door, right after a rain with cherry blossoms in full bloom.
I am headed out of town tomorrow, so I thought I'd leave a new idea before I go. I call it "Mixed Messages." Think signage gone awry, billboards that have been messed with, or just public messages you find amusing. I hope you guys are into it!
I would measure my elf, but I think he ran off with my tape measure.
This is the window where my computer sits. That's a Bayberry bush and if I had been on the ball a week ago and snapped this photo, you could have seen it in riotous bloom, covered in tiny, sweet smelling white flowers. It's nice to sit here, the bush provides shade and fun for the birds. But I would rather have this view.
This is out my sunroom window, looking onto my bird feeding stations, lots of green and a nice quiet spot for sitting, relaxing and dozing off. The Hawthorn tree on the right is in full bloom; natures big joke I like to call it. Blooms beautifully but smells like old laundry.
And for my inaugural post...
Hello Suburbia!
Through the screen you can see the tiny tree in our front yard (because most full grown trees were plowed down to build this subdivision), the across the street neighbor's fuel efficient compact car, our traditional mailbox (sadly, the flag is not up), and a glimpse of my irises. I planted two bulbs two years ago and they have exploded out control.
Here is the view out my front window. I love my house sooo much!!! Moved here from Chicago, where the view was rather "Honeymooners". Now, we have 1.5 acres on the edge of town... ah! For less than we paid in rent in Chi-town!! Here's to the country life...
Why it's Clancy's Pub and attached liquor store!
Classy! Clancy's Pub comes fully equipped with scantily clad women "dancing" and serving drinks. County regulations are in place so that their tops and bottoms stay in place.
While this is not technically a view from my window, it is a view from my sister's bedroom window in their new house and it was too pretty a picture not to share with you all! This is the city of Bangor in all its springtime glory! Enjoy!
I spend a lot of time driving around for my chillin's and so this is the view from my window...
Aren't you glad you aren't driving the KIA, I mean I am driving and taking photos...did I ever mention how safe I am? Anyway now that my computer is working I can post my entries, so here is one...only a few more to go.
I have an idea for another topic....how aboout Weird and Wonderful? Something that you think is kinda strange or just plain old weird.
How about this...(feel free to boo and hiss)
What's the view like where you spend most of your days? Is it out the kitchen window? Your office? Do you get a lot of windshield time? Is your window your computer?
Here's mine.......
This is a view of downtown State College, PA, with the Old Main bell tower on the horizon. If you look carefully you can see the PA State Flag to the right, and the US Flag hidden behind the trees to the left. Also note we're just beginning to get some green around here.
I am particularly enamored of the scruffy apartment buildings..... It is slightly cut off because there is a deck outside my office.
This, my dear friends and to all that are looking is what spring apparently looks like in Maine this year. This was taken at 6:30am this morning after a storm dropped 8+ inches on us poor Mainers last night. Spring must have forgotten that it had already sprung! :) Good thing I have my (finally!) completed butterfly socks to keep me warm! What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?
Could I be any more transparent at this time??
Yes, I love to cook and I love to read about cooking and I love to think about cooking, keep up on what is new in the cooking world and anything else related to cooking that I can find.
I love wine too. 'Nuf said.
The 'healthy cooking' magazine was one I picked up off a news stand that I had never seen before; it's the only one in the stack that doesn't regularly get stuffed into my mailbox. I am a member of the American Chef's Federation, so the magazine second from the bottom on the left is their monthly mailing, mostly full of news on trends, and happenings of the non-celebrity chefs, plus plenty of drool worthy recipes. 'real food' is a quarterly magazine put out by a local grocer. I imagine you recognize everything else. My favs are Eating Well for the recipes, and Saveur for the reading.
Hungry??
I can't remember the last time I washed my sheets.
I hate laundry. Why make more of it?
Don't worry, if you ever came to visit me, I'd make sure you got clean sheets!
