Spray painted on a light post in Brooklyn. It's pretty common for people to make stencils and go around with some spray paint (I guess at night) and paint sidewalks, light posts, emergency boxes, etc.

Shep and Hippo

August 13, 2010
In the first shot we have Shep on his ridiculously thick bed with part of a raw bone and his mostly unstuffed hippo. He's panting because he's been running around like a wild man with hippo. In the next photo he's shoving his snout under hippo looking for something. He's always fun. As I type this, he's been standing and staring out of the front window for about an hour. It's dark and rainy out, and he doesn't usually stare out with such enthusiasm (unless he sees a neighbor he likes out front) so I wonder what has his attention. Silly dog.

I had a very similar picture actually taken on the 12th but the lighting was different and not very flattering so this one is getting posted. He usually spends at least a little bit of every night like this, staring at his computer screen reading blogs or about whatever he's currently fascinated by.

On his perch by the window, wondering why I won't get the camera out of his face.

Volunteer tomato

This little plant popped up in the backyard on its own. I'm guessing a squirrel or bird dropped the seed there. The other photo is of the week's CSA produce. I really liked all the plums we got.

I took this shot as we walked back from the trail head into town in Cold Spring. The sun was setting and really bright and this nice tree was in the yard of a nice house on the river. I couldn't decide whether I liked the original (first) or edited (second) version better so you get both.

Someone, seemingly parks department employees, put up these signs on fences of areas where they don't want people (supposedly for ecological reasons). These made me laugh out loud and I'm sure made a lot of others smile.

A tree we saw while hiking near Cold Spring, NY. We took a MetroNorth train from Manhattan up to this little river town for some hiking. The station is pretty much in town so there was no need for a car. We went to the gear shop and bought a trail map then headed maybe a mile down a road to a trail head. At one point we saw some off-leash dogs and I told Craig I was pretty sure I recognized them. Sure enough, there were some ladies I see occasionally in Prospect Park, also up for a day trip of hiking. Even in a city of 8 million we are always running into to people we know.

Strange fruit

Or are they vegetables? These are husk cherries, or at least that's what the farmer we get them from calls them. I've seen them labeled as other things other places. They look like little yellowish tomato/tomatillos mixes and are very tiny. I lined up some on the deck rail for this photo.

Actually, these are in our living room every few months. I have a potted plant that these sprout up under every now and then.

Pecans make everything better

I like to add pecans to cakes and cookies and brownies, but I always toast them some first. They are especially good mixed into the crust when you have a graham cracker pie crust.

CSA Haul for the week

A representative group of the week's goodies from the CSA. Plenty of corn, tomatoes, peaches, and carrots among other things.

These lovely old glasses are on display (not in my house) but I don't think they get used. I usually like plain, clear glasses but these are quite charming to me.

I've put so many of the animals from my Arkansas trip on here that I couldn't leave Buster out. He's Belle's second in command at my parents' house, and just a good old boy. He went with me on many walks in the woods there.

I went to one of those candy stores where you buy candy by the pound in Little Rock and got this bag of goodies. Sadly, they weren't nearly as tasty as Haribo brand gummi candy.

This is Belle, my parents alpha dog. It was really hot in Arkansas in July (100 F by noon), but she often chose to go outside instead of staying in the air-conditioned house. Obviously she's crazy. At least she chose the cool cement and shade of the garage.

I'm back, trying to update this a little more. We'll see how far I get.
This is a puppy that my aunt had. It was cute, as puppies tend to be.
