Doug's Project 365

Greg tries out the antique lawn roller (that came with the house), preparing our croquet pitch for use.

The weather broke today.  I am glad to see the end of the humidity, if only for a couple of days.  But did it have to (with the accompanying storms) during Friday rush hour?

Cats elongate and get flatter in the heat.  Parker is so hot that he doesn’t even fit into the frame.

We’ve had extra people in the house this week (my sister’s family) which means extra food, including fruit.  And with the heat & humidity, we’ve had to take measures.

I call this photo “Still Life with Fruit Fly Trap.”

We were happy to have a quite pleasant evening in the midst of a hot humid week tonight. 

It’s a mystery what flowers & plants are going to come up in our new house’s garden.  This week’s surprise: black-eyed susans.

My entire family was at the house today to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday.

We made cupcakes from scratch for my dad’s 80th birthday, which we’re celebrating tomorrow.

Lis and I walked down to West Newton for dinner tonight.  On the way back we spotted this sign.

I always wondered where one is supposed to park one’s stickers.

I made some biscotti last week as an attempt to keep myself out of Dunkin Donuts on those mornings when I need a little breakfast at work.  Today I made another batch, of a different flavor.
