Pick a peck of purple peppers. James is growing these in a pot, out front on the steps. Don’t think there will enough for a peck, though. They are such a beautiful color. Not sure about their heat factor either. I’d never seen purple peppers before.
Thinking About Mommy and Daddy Going Out for a Special Night
Charlie was thinking about Mommy snd Daddy going out for a special night. Saying goodbye to them as they pulled down the driveway.
Just deep thinking, no tears.
He and I had a nice evening together, and as he said “you have to have a kid to go out for a special night.”

S. Dallas Ave Thoughtful Neighbors’ Signage Warns of BIG Pothole
You can avoid it by seeing this eye catching sign. South Dallas Avenue Thoughtful Neighbors Warn of BIG Pothole. You could ruin a tire. Pittsburgh is noted for its potholes. You can’t always see them until you’re on top of one. Or your tire is dipping into it, jarring your ride, ruining your alignment!
Practicing Panorama Cloning
Maura had this idea from 5 minute crafts on YouTube so we experimented in the backyard this afternoon.
She knew how to run behind me for the next pose.

My friend Joanne sent this photo from Florida
”Here’s what I met when I was at the Council of Aging yesterday to drop off auction donations. A little group of therapy dogs tired out from their weekly gig bringing joy to the residents …. their names are Juan Pablo, Ricco Suave, Penelope and Magnolia…..” Photo and text by Joanne

Think of it as a Donation
Let’s face it, the odds are not in your favor.
But Maura had fun at St. Raphael Church Bazaar in Morningside. Got some good used books, too.
Artist at Work: Stephen Hankin
Artist Stephen Hankin, painting at The Frick, Pittsburgh. Although I interrupted his concentration, he graciously allowed me to photograph him at work. Said I could blog him, too. And here I was wondering what I’d photograph after the People at Work Show was over. If you live in Pittsburgh or plan to visit and would like to tour his studio (where he has 180 paintings on the walls) you can contact him stephenhankinart(at)gmail(dot)(com)
The front of his card shows his studio with paintings on the walls.
