I know these two couches had some adventures to tell. Shanti and I were headed to the Groceria in Bloomfield neighborhood to pick up a couple of meatball subs/hoagies/sandwiches for some friends. Oh my. I pulled over to the curb. Put the flashers on
We both got out of the car. She was as excited as I was to see TWO abandoned couches in front of the apartment building.
You do know I don’t go looking for these things, right? But there they were
Sometimes at midnight you hear the engines reving up. You might have been asleep already.
But the roaring, screeching and squealing of tires travels up the hill from the lower road in the park.
Here’s some evidence of doughnuts by hot rods. “A doughnut (or donut) is a vehicle driving maneuver characterized by an intentional and sustained oversteeraction. The maneuver entails rotating the rear or front of the vehicle around the opposite set of wheels in a continuous motion.

The City of Pittsburgh Roving Art Cart opened the season at the Highland Park Super Playground on June 16th. There was a puppet show and Mr. Cann’s Aunt Mary Lou Williams was being honored in the show so he came to participate. He plays five instruments I learned. And he told me he’s a retired Bellman of the historic and classic Omni William Penn Hotel downtown. Over the decades he met over 350 celebrities he said.
Here he is playing along with a recording of the famous George Benson. He gave us his gift of live music. Click to listen https://youtu.be/_yizufqbZ0Q?is=1WUC2GDWpnEuDTDk

My granddaughter Shanti (6) photographed the bunny in the yard next door.
I think of the book when I see rabbits in the wild.
“Watership Down is a classic 1972 adventure novel by Richard Adams about a group of wild rabbits fleeing their doomed warren to find a new home, facing predators, challenges, and building a new society on Watership Down in England”
The previous neighbor had planted ferns. Along his side of the driveway. I’d never planted a single fern on my side Only a couple survived on his side . Just look at the lush ferns that blew over to me.

The Pittsburgh Park Rangers were at the Highland Park Farmhouse Playground for a Pop-Up Thursday afternoon. No live animals but lots of different furry specimens of soft tanned pelts for the kids to touch and learn about animals in our local environment. There was a squirrel, a possum, a skunk, a beaver, a raccoon, a fox, a coyote. I think there was one more I didn’t get an ID. Edit: my granddaughter said it was a deer. The first one. I should have known by the white tail
My granddaughter said the coyote felt the softest to her.
