Wordless Wednesday

Cutting Bread on Pennsylvania

My grandson Jack made this cutting board and I posted it before but I’m so proud of his handiwork and craftsmanship I’m posting again.

Now that loaf of sourdough was not a pretty one but it tasted good. I think the dough was too wet.

Sidewalk Poetry

My neighbor picked me up and we met her childhood friend for Sunday night supper.

On the way out of the restaurant my friend noticed these words stenciled on the sidewalk.

And you know I took a photo.

Came home and looked up poetrybyboots who is Chicago based but traveled to our city.

Perhaps you’ve discovered some of her poetry where you live. She’s “left messages in 37 states” and Kimberly Brown has been a street artist for 7 years.

At the corner of 36th Street and Liberty Ave

Here’s a short YouTube video about her words

At the Museum

I let Charlie set the pace.

We went to the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Natural History Museum today.

He was allowed to touch the Meteorite and the Stalagmite and Yes , I bought him a Dirt Cup with a gummy dinosaur on top

Charlie was a was a terrific museum goer.

We decided we enjoyed the National Aviary birds who were alive and breathing, more than these stuffed specimens.

A Knotty Tree

I tried to research tree diseases but came up short. Hopefully someone can tell me why this tree looks like this.
