It was a beautiful day. Day one of seriously trying to walk a good two miles. Everyday? that’s the plan. Laura said “No browsing or stopping to take a photograph! No dead couches!!!”
But there I was, pushing a stroller with my nine month old grandson Roy. And here’s what I found a few blocks after I started my walk. I could not resist.
Abandoned furniture, ready for pick-up. A couch AND a love seat.
The woven cord ones, the aluminum folding frames, are for sale, standing in front of a vintage store on High Street.
The other two? discards.
Maura found the white one on the way home, walking Charlie from school.
No truck at the curb.
Can’t be garbage. No person in sight. Still caught my eye, even if it wasn’t truly abandoned.
Laura, Roy, Oscar the Labradoodle and I walked to pick up Charlie after school.
Look what we saw on the way home.
My friend and I went walking the other morning. There’s is no way our steps were sufficient to counteract the calories -given she brought over a box of Oliver’s Donuts. Jen likes to support her local businesses. Remember her last pastries, I posted ?
I photographed the donuts in two lights, sunshine and shade. Their Signature donut is the Huckleberry. The middle ones are summer seasonal Lemon Lavender. She took the rest to her daughter’s work.
A rich chocolate ganache (Death by Chocolate) and a vanilla with sprinkles in the back. Fancy! I ate half of a Huckleberry (we split it) and a spoonful of the ganache. Death by Chocolate is not kidding! I was happy with my choices. Coffee was a perfect pairing
“ Our sour cream cake donuts have a dense, moist interior with a crispy outside. We always use Pittsburgh-region grown & milled organic flour. We make our donuts fresh throughout the day.”

This morning before I headed back to Pittsburgh, I got to walk with Charlie to school. He rides his scooter.
I tried to keep up but at least got the chance to document his early morning trek to school.
