Why I Love my Wife
I was returning home from my morning walk when I turned the corner to Silver Hill Road and noticed my garage door open. Strange I thought, I was sure I had closed it. Then I saw my wife digging with a pitchfork. I asked her what she was doing? “ I am digging for worms”…
A Spring Walk
As always, I try to walk every day. Today was no exception. The morning walk was routine. I found three pennies and one was a wheat penny. The last wheat penny was minted in 1958. The afternoon walk was most interesting. Walking down High Ridge Road next to the old Lord & Taylor building is…
Winter So Far
Well, it has been a challenging winter so far. Let’s see, Cold temperatures, Lots of snow, unplowed sidewalks. I could go on. However, I survived and I was able to walk every day. Some days I only walked a few miles. There were a few days when I was able to walk eight miles or…

Birds
The other day I went to the Bronx Zoo with my grandson. We went to the World of Birds exhibit and saw the bird of paradise. Not only did we see the bird, but it also sang to us. It was just beautiful. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see the black…
Summertime and the Living is Easy
These turtles certainly seem to be enjoying summer. This picture is the causeway at the North Stamford Reservoir on Interlaken Road. I like passing this spot often. As you can see there is a nice water cascade. I can usually start hearing the water when I am 200 feet from the stream. One of…

Today’s morning walk did have a mission, to buy my monthly bus pass at the train station. I usually walk down Summer Street to its end. Today I changed the route and crossed over to Franklin Street. At the end of Franklin is UCONN On the right and a little park on the left. They…
