Speaking of hanging out

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.

Fern

Found this guy holding on –

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Yet another one

Still fighting the good fight –

 

No quit

 

 

Don’t know how they’re doing it, it’s 50 and blowing sideways rain today.

Good effort.

Still hanging on

Not giving it to the howling rains. Not this guy –

 

Shallow

 

 

I like how shallow the depth of field is. I know I shouldn’t, but I do.

Start raking

It’s gonna need to be done sooner rather than later –

 

Leafy

 

 

Don’t forget the front yard….
