Back & Around

My recent technology challenges (camera, printer, laptop!) have led me backwards. :^) Here, in no order are some snippets from my life, some then, some now. I'll try to be brief but I can't guarantee:

ahh--the bedroom in Provincetown

if you want quick easy beautiful verdant flowers that bloom all summer and into fall, for your yard and home, plant hydrangeas and zinnias.

Our house for 20 years: a Victorian duplex with us on the right side. three floors, 14 rooms. five doorways and 3 refrigerators in the kitchen when first seen, every room in disarray. but there was no doubt its bones were solid.

Do you know where this is? CS, I know you do. And Silke, I'll bet you do too.
I'll let someone other than me tell you.

This is one of my favorite views in the city where I work.

This is a poor and diverse city, not long ago in receivership.

What a day this was. Our friends have use of his old horse barn, modernized with a sink, counter, stove, refrigerator, worn couches, and pool table. We pot-lucked lunch and dinner, canoed with geese and dragonflies, willingly became dazed and impaired (hee hee, non-specific and true), and right at dusk we stood in front of the barn and from the chimney in the house across the street came hundreds of bats; one, two, three at a time out the chimney, then six, seven, eight, ten twenty. They flew within inches by and around us, unbelievable to be part of it, knowing their radar would not let them hit us.

I just wrote a post about Joey, who I help in various ways. Here he is. He socialized only with his parents until they died twelve years ago, and now he is more independent and confident than he ever thought possible. He's likable and hilarious: can't you tell?

I've probably posted this photo a hundred times already.

This is my daughter Jessica (and mr. ryan). Isn't she beautiful?

Oh dear who cares: the bedroom

The view crossing into Provincetown from Route 6
