Photo: Dandelion invasion

Remi and I walked past this field a few days ago. Strange how the dandelions took over without anyone noticing. By ones and twos, then by tens, they came out to fill the field under the powerlines of 27th avenue.

When in doubt, post a dog picture.

This is Sir Remington Rio, lord of Nordeast, defender of the realm, terror to squirrels and rabbits.  His cute is not of your cute, mortals. Look on him and adore.

Shoe, Part 2

I am pleased to report that my neighbor's shoe, first reported in December at this link, remains resting on the corner of their picnic table. I hail this proud and hearty survivor of a harsh Minnesota winter.

I will provide further updates as they warrant.

This is a neighbor's shoe. I've been seeing it in this exact spot for months now. It's gone from curiosity to eyesore to treasured landmark. The Golf Shoe on the Picnic Table. Interesting fact two is that this shoe resists being photographed. I've made about ten attempts, and been thwarted by dead batteries, a tugging dog, low light, and strange shutter settings. There are currently two photos that show the shoe in a recognizable state, and this is the better of them. I will report on the shoe as time and fate allows.
