Enjoying the Back Yard

Sunday, September 15, 2024

Halfway through September. Enjoying a cigar in the backyard to celebrate a beautiful summer day. 


Lit up in the garage this afternoon.

Sat out in the yard and enjoyed the view. 



Mike was over recently. We sat out back after dark and smoked cigars. He told me he loves sitting in my back yard and I told him I love sitting in my backyard too. We sat facing north looking into Josh and Breanna's yard and beyond the other side of the street. With all the lights it really did look rather magical. We looked at the stars too and found the Big Dipper. At this time of year the Big Dipper is easily seen if you look up just past the north of our roof line. 



                     

The weather today was warm and a little humid but there was a nice breeze. Sitting in the shade was really very pleasant.

I listened to Babs and also I listened to Marcia, the annoying cockapoo next door.

She's cute but she barks too much. 

Anyway, I'm ever appreciative of having this backyard space for many reasons, not the least of which is to smoke cigars. (Today's was an Oliva. Always a good choice for me.  Dale drove me to Anthony's Cigars after brunch at the Lowbrow.)

October - Chili/Chilly

Sunday, October 2, 2022



We're at that time of year where sundown has become so much noticeably earlier and it cools off quickly. The days can feel a little bit like summer but the late afternoon and evening feels like fall. Dale made chili for dinner and it was the perfect day for it. 



Regina had a birthday recently and so did Dale. Julie and I took them out for their birthday at Parkway Pizza. Julie and Regina brought a ginormous bundt cake which we had for dessert. There was so much left over that we all took so home. Dale and I had the extra tonight. It was lemon flavored and it was divine. We had quite the Sunday dinner today with cocktails, snacks, dinner, and dessert. How awesome is that?



Sylvester was ready to wind down as the evening progressed.
