This tree is frequently the first to turn

September 20, 2018 By SunDog

I’ve notice this tree near Portland Square on 12th Avenue East for many years because of its bright orange colors. A few years ago I interviewed some adults who were had a Portland Square Kids Reunion. They had many fun stories to tell about growing up in the area. BUT, they also told me that […]

Pumpkins in a box

September 17, 2018 By SunDog

I usually hate the “who knew?” questions in stories, but Who knew special cardboard boxes are made espcially for pumpkins. These pumpkins sat in two huge cardboard boxes in a pick-up truck at the Miller Hill Mall. A nice display with hay bales and white, yellow and orange pumpkins are nicely displayed by the big […]

September 16, 2018 By SunDog

At first I heard some rustling, and I thought a person was standing outside the garage and I was a little afraid. Then I saw one deer standing on the steps Then two, Then Three!

Minions in Lester Park

September 12, 2018 By SunDog

Construction never ends

September 11, 2018 By SunDog

This photo was taken at the downtown public library at about 8 p.m. Notice it is already pitch dark. We took a class at the YMCA and by time we got out it was dark (about 7: 30) September is nice, but I’m not looking forward to the early darkness. Time to start up the […]

Making hay while the sun shines.

September 10, 2018 By SunDog

By making hay while the sun shines, I mean driving your convertible with the top down while you still can. I saw this car with the owner while on my way to my writers’ group. I thought, “Naomi, just concentrate on your driving.” But I couldn’t stand it because classic car owners just love to […]

Aerial Lift Bridge with a pig

July 21, 2018 By SunDog

Last I knew this little box car near Grandma’s Restaurant sold ice-cream treats. So this statue of a pig on the top of the box car surprised me. I’d rather have an ice-cream treat on a hot night than a pork sandwich.
