Tradition

Posted on November 28, 2013 by cyetso

Sometimes you are forced to break with tradition, but you make do with what you got –

 

Whiskey

 

 

It ain’t the Dubb Linn Gate, but it’s what we got.

Thanksgiving 2013.

Raking flower beds

Posted on November 27, 2013 by cyetso

Not going to Whistler for our annual tradition of turkey, whiskey & Stilton (not so much on the turkey actually, but in the spirit of things…), so might as well make myself useful around here. And since the hydrangea has finally given in to the onset of winter –

 

Hydrangea

 

 

I’ll start my raking right there, before the snow flies next week. If the snow flies. Not like the weather forecasters really know.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Rain’s a comin

Posted on November 26, 2013 by cyetso

Just hard to tell from the blue skies –

Clouds

 

 

At least we’re not getting smacked like most of the country…..

Speaking of hanging out

Posted on November 25, 2013 by cyetso

Had a bit of a birthday this week (not mine, we’ve cancelled that for the foreseeable). So first, thanks to all of you that sent notes and cards and such, the birthday girl genuinely appreciates your kind wishes.

Second, what’s a birthday without Ray’s?

 

Ray's

 

About as useless as a birthday without cocktails –

 

B-Day cocktails

 

Never-mind the reading glasses, they were the, uh, waiter’s?

All in good fun. Thanks everyone.

Found this guy holding on –

 

Ferne

 

With it freezing at night and a high of 42, it’s not likely to make it much longer.

Rain’s gone, for a bit

Posted on November 19, 2013 by cyetso

Now it’s just gonna be COLD. Hope the firebush survives –

 

Firebush

 

 

We thought it was a gonner last year, but it came back healthy as can be. We’ll see if it hangs in through this winter.

Pouring rain

Posted on November 18, 2013 by cyetso

This afternoon, walking around downtown (I was early for my chauffeur bit) –

 

Raining downtown

 

 

One of these grey days where even the artwork lacks pop color.

Just walking

Posted on November 13, 2013 by cyetso

On another nice afternoon, fall had this for me –

 

Colors

 

 

And this to end the day –

 

Sunsetish

 

 

Good day today for the foot (day off from work, just resting). Not so much for motorcycle shopping (desired motorcycle not in stock).

Let’s see what tomorrow has in mind….

Tired

Posted on November 11, 2013 by cyetso

Tired of keeping it together for all these years, the fence is in the process of giving up –

 

Old fence

 

 

I like the way it hasn’t totally given up, yet is making enough of a statement –

 

More old fence

 

 

What the fence doesn’t know is that the alternative, being kindling, might not be all that.

I’ll have a chat with the fence…

Went downtown

Posted on November 8, 2013 by cyetso

Had to collect the patient from work today. Her building is at Second & Spring –

 

Second and Spring

Big tall building. She’s pretty important, so she gets one of those windows –

 

Big and Tall

 

 

All in good fun. And a nice day out to boot.
