Nascent spring: peony version.
Fading spring: bluebell version.
Capital improvement…failure: water department version. A crew just fixed this.
Musings
Transition Friday
Friday, 5 April 2019
Overnight rain created this pool…
and washed the pollen downstream. The air smelled almost clean-pristine, almost because the plants are continuing to pump out the pollen…
so we headed for the mountains. Where the clouds still bedecked the ridges…
another hour later, and clear skies!
To you!
By dusk, we had a great view of Mount Yonah. That’s not the moon, just the reflection of a ceiling light.
And now I will transition to bed…yawn.
On/near the BeltLine
Wednesday, 3 April 2019
We’ve had baseball’s opening day, now we’re awaiting opening day for the revised, revamped, and rebuilt-from-the-ground-up BeltLine Kroger. Must be nearing as the signage is up!
Down in the pool in O4W park, the fake geyser was off and the turtles had made the nozzle and it rock island their own. Good sign the pool has turtles! Means there’s sufficient turtle food, no?
Today’s flower-foto…wisteria.
Toodling along

(Ornamental?) white dogwood bloom.
The power washing saga continues; we’re doing a bit at a time. And the crud levels are high! More awaits, however.
The parking narcing shrouds remain in place.
April Fools’
Monday, 1 April 2019
See that black mini-monolith off to the right? That’s a shrouded parking narcing machine. All the machines in our neighborhood were sporting them today…which means:
Free parking!
Pretty expensive to buy all those shrouds and send a crew around tying them on. Must be a business deal negotiation snafu and not an April Fools’ hoax—my bet, anyway.
Have you ever seen this edge detail on pine straw? I watched a guy do it several years back, a nice little flick of the wrists after he caught the errant needles with a shovel. I think it’s to keep the pine straw neater, but also to give them an edge that the yard-guys can preserve when they use a mower and blower.
Culture today, and no flower. Heh.
Park not in park
Thursday, 28 March 2019
This almost-wild is a few steps away. As I moved along, two yakking women came across the bridge by the railing, so I let them head down “my” path, and crossed the bridge and headed along that way, far enough away to not hear the loud yakking.
The other side of the park is more developed, and it looks like it’s gonna host a party! I think these were pallets of plastic flooring. Thursday is The Staging Day for Friday/weekend festivities. Maybe I’ll check it out tomorrow.
Today’s flower photo: tulips.
Infiltration/permeation
Wednesday, 27 March 2019
Phlox occupying a sidewalk, softening a hardscape, essentially.
Branch crossing the fence-boundary. A well-lichened fence.
Path variants
Sunday, 24 March 2019
I don’t expect these petals to last much longer on the tree; nice on the path for now….
Another path…or paths? Dog and oak?
ATH and return
Saturday, 23 March 2019
We had all manner of fun today, including a w-a-a-a-y outside-the-perimeter adventure. In which we saw…
…a mirror ball reflecting.
And cats waiting. [For feeding time, of course.]
And a chimney smoking. The kind to start the Kingsford* charcoal.
* The Ford part of Kingsford is from Henry…a side business of his.
Friday Friday!

Friday theme/goal, ¿no? Create energy! Bang a drum!
And some visual symmetry. Just ’cause.
