The Hunter’s Moon
Here it is, rising over the neighbor’s house. Our patio lights look a lot brighter in this picture than in real life. Look how red the maple tree is getting to be. Needs to get a little taller, as well. This was some week, I am about to tell you. The Resident Expert is going […]

The Harvest Moon, as seen from the street in front of the house. My big plan was to drive up the hill to get a good view of the rising moon over the Bay, but I got totally lost, and there were all these commuter types trying to get home, and the setting sun was […]

After traveling around the state last week, I would say that we’ve settled down in the right location. The crickets have arrived. I heard them during my evening run at Edgewood. And there are a zillion frogs along Cordilleras Creek. From up high on the Edgewood Trails I could see a sailboat class in progress […]

The Hetch Hetchy pipeline replacement project is underway, and making its way through the neighborhood. I took a few pictures.

That’s what I intend to do, and I encourage you to do the same. On the agenda this weekend: a visit to the barbershop, a test run at the cross-country course, finish up with the sprinks project in the backyard, and give the resident megafauna a dose of the Advantage. And in case that’s not […]
