we went for a walk down by the Charles today and saw some good birds, including ducks. even without Doug’s mega-super-powered-heavy-duty camera lens, I was able to get a few respectable shots of them.

a friend of mine had a party to celebrate her 40th birthday. naturally, my favorite picture of the evening is of the family dog. 

this couch is sitting on the road into the commuter parking lot I use. it’s been there for a few weeks now. I’ve never seen anyone sitting on it.

last year, not only did these plants never bloom, but they were scraggly and pathetic looking, and we weren’t convinced they’d even survive. now they are giving us beautiful pink and  purple flowers.  (the blue ones in the middle are siberian squills.)

Hotei is the god of abundance and good health. He’s one of the seven lucky gods, and not a bad thing to see when you enter a room.

so the wall between our ex-kitchen and ex-sunroom is gone. in its place are these two temporary supporting walls, which are keeping the ceiling in place until the permanent beam is built

we ordered a few different types of daffodils last fall, including some miniature ones. We didn’t realize quite how miniature they would be, but they are delightful.

this dog had focus. I watched several people walk by and some tried to get his attention, but he was not going to miss by a second the moment when his person came back outside.
