Today is National Nude Day, so if you decide to participate make sure you have sunscreen – or only go out at night like these folks. Enjoy!
Made me giggle

And speaking of statues . . .
These Guardians of Transportation attend the Hope Memorial Bridge connecting Cleveland’s east and west sides. The scale of these monumental pylons make them difficult to photograph, but I remember being captivated by the detail and art deco loveliness when I was still a kid and we drove across the bridge. The carved figures are on both sides of the four pylons. The guardians each hold a symbol of transportation in their hands.
I would hate to see what these guys could do if they decided to strike back at the statue topplers.
Some flowers from Maine
July 2, 2020We recently got back from mid-coast Maine, and I miss it. Here are some flowers from the trip . . .
rhododendrons outside our front door – there are some big bumblebees in there
foxgloves across the road
peonies (actually from New Hampshire)
Some exuberant elderberry bushes from our nature center at home

Bonus baking blog – Afghan Biscuits
June 26, 2020We are on vacation so posting has been light, but I did want to share this recipe. I read about Afghan Biscuits – on Gastro Obscura – and I looked up the recipe. These biscuits (cookies) are apparently a New Zealand specialty. I had never heard of them. Now that I have made them (twice) they have become one of our favorites, too.
