Month: October 2013

…granite.  Workers here are moving the 9.5 ton granite gazing ball outside Quincy City Hall out of the way of renovations, with the help of a giant crane.

Some animal in our neighborhood has been attacking the water wiggler for our birdbath; last time it made off with the part that stirs the water. I’ve epoxied the new one to a piece of stone to try to weight it down a bit more.

This time of year, fierce predators may often be found lurking on stairs.

I don’t know what the official variety of this squash is, but I’ve been calling it a Barcode Melon.

We got a pomegranate in our Boston Organics delivery this week.

Tired of seeing the power brick for my laptop on the kitchen counter, I installed this little shelf for it underneath.

Our kitchen sink is a Swiss brand. I think maybe they designed this rack’s spacing with bottles in mind.

This is what happens when the M&M making process goes horribly wrong. And no, I didn’t eat it.

Frost warning tonight.  I harvested the basil and made pesto, prepped here to be frozen in portion size (aka an ice cube tray).

We’re eating inside, and we’re eating lamb stew.
