Seeing-eye Dog on the Bus |
Butterfly on Four O' Clocks |
Dinner at Roscoe's |
Well, the dog on the bus photo is from this afternoon. The bus was very crowded, and I got up to let the dog's owner sit down in the double seat so there'd be room for her dog. The dog was totally wonderful. She licked my hand (which recently had been holding a fried egg sandwich), and then lay down next to my foot. I don't know if she's allowed to do this, but it seemed heartfelt.
The butterflies, so familiar in autumn, have been here and gone in the past week. I don't know the real name of these flowers, but I have always called them "four o' clocks." They look a bit like the flowers my mother used to plant that would not fully blossom until about 4 p.m., Fargo time. There are genuine flowers with this name and this habit, but I don't know if these are they.
Roscoe's down on Carroll Avenue is one of those fancy restaurants whose pizza is CERTIFIED to be just like they make in Italy. Further, it's named after the famous rooster who used to walk around our town and wake people up in the morning. When he finally died, some people were late for work! The salad is called "root slaw" on the menu. It's made from carrots of two colors: orange and yellow. The deviled eggs are to die for!

Sounds like a wonderful day in the neighborhood!
yes, but NO WORK WAS DONE!! BAD!
Also, we must find a way & time to convene at Roscoe's. In honor of the chickens running around here if nowt else!
You had a much better day than I did - reading books on Social Security and Medicare. Scary. The D.N.
DN: The actual reality changes faster than they can keep up with it in books. Don't mean to scare you, but the idiots have taken over.
Actually, this was not all in one day, either. It was this past WEEK. The longest part of my day today was the bus ride.
I really like deviled eggs and those do look good. I usually sprinkle a little paprika on top of the ones I make but those sprinkles look darker, so I wonder what it is?
Also, "yellow" carrots are new to me. I think I've only seen orange carrots.
Wow...LOVE these pix and how they reflect a life so well lived. My mom used to make the carrot salad with pineapple for the yellow color. But somehow no one else liked it but me....Hmmm maybe I will try it on Wednesday! Cat
