Happy FriYay, Tim!
Have a wonderful weekend!

All he needs is a long mustache that he can twirl as he laughs his evil laugh…”mwahaha…”

😱

Gary does!!! Kevin-the-Chipmunk who seems sweet and unassuming. But then after a few minutes of watching him pretend he’s just passing through…he starts doing the same things as his mentor Gary.
Digging and making messes. I believe they are in cahoots, probably dividing the spoils in a hidden lair…

It’s Gary. It’s about Gary, right? You just know they’re talking ‘bout Gary.🐿️

Hah! I didn’t know Gary made a dance video!!!

👍😄

I’m always happy to share. It’s just the mess he always leaves behind. Always.
He’s going to need a yambulance some day!!

👏👍😄

Gary-the-Squirrel digging in one of the last deck pots we still need to bring in. He threw all 3 ipomoea tubers, (what garden centers call sweet potato vines) onto the deck. Made a huge mess, as he always does. Always.

Good morning, my friend! T’giving is next week! No surprise that Gary-the-Squirrel was grocery shopping in the last pots still on the deck. Sorry for the blur but I didn’t move so as not to startle him. He dug up ALL the sweet potato vines tubers, (his faves) & left a mess.🤬

(You’re welcome, Gary❤️)

I yam glad you enjoyed! Season’s eatings!

Don’t mean to sound immodest, but I am the belle of the Butterball…☺️

Nope. Birds of a feather…
What can I do? I’ve got my turk cut out for me…🤷‍♀️

They’re crossing guards? They’ve got pluck!!

Then my work here is done!🦃❤️🦃❤️

👍 😄
You’d hope. I really tried.
I said “Let’s talk turkey. Bready or not, the holiday is almost here!”

I yam thanksgiving for you! (And reposts are always welcome!)

Backyard turkeys. You can see one flying into the trees in the muddle of the photo.

Turkeys.

More turkeys.

Good morning, my friend! The neighbors were hanging around. Ran out to warn them-“T’giving is 1 week away! Make like fast food & get moving! No time to baste! Stay ahead of the carve or suffer fowl play!” They didn’t listen, said it’s “Much ado about stuffin’ so give peas a chance.” Sigh. I fried.🤷‍♀️

A beautiful quote from the man known as “Dr. Love.” Thank you!

Thank you, Eileen!!

Thank you! I really enjoy doing the interviews and have always loved writing since back in my reporting and documentarian days!

Thank you, Ricardo!❤️

He’s an excellent professor, (his students adore him), passionate about teaching the language snd preserving the history, and the nicest man you’ll ever meet, to boot!

Photo of my newest column for the Post-Gazette (Boston), an interview with college professor and author Alfred Crudale.

Good morning, my friend! My 3rd every-other-week column for Boston’s Post-Gazette appeared in Fri’s edition w/college prof/author @alfredocprof.bsky.social! He has new children’s books about the Italian immigrant experience from 100+ years ago! Tap the foto to enlarge full view! Thanks for reading!🗞️

Me too!
I do a lot of sky watching, even watching it reflected on water…

Lots of birds, whose pictures I couldn’t take because they flew too fast, several squirrels, and I swear I saw a red fox in the distance, but it moved so fast. I have no proof….

Same. Home is where the heart is…

Mostly cloudy skies all day, but clouds parted a little bit for a few minutes as I passed by this scene.

A few bright red leaves cling to a tree in November. A cheery find!

Second photo of sky reflection on water as clouds parted for just a few minutes. Got cloudy again really fast, but it was all beautiful to me.

Good morning, my friend! Sharing photos from a weekend #hike. New place for me to discover and to marvel at the beauty of #nature while clearing the head. Remember - #forest is also “for rest.”
I love you #NewEngland!
