What an eyesore.

The open green space at the end of our street used to be so pretty…

It was well maintained and just a beautiful space at the end of our street…

Now, its just a hot mess. It’s supposed to be an orchard. They planted about a half dozen little trees. But it hasn’t been mowed yet this year. There’s still a giant pile of wood chips and no one has worked on it in over a year…

I wish I could just plow this whole “orchard” under so it could just go back to a nice green grass open space. Right now it looks like trash. πŸ˜€πŸŒ³β€οΈ

Just hanging out again.

Oscar was hanging out with me in our office again this afternoon…

He loves sitting on the arm of the sofa and looking out the window…

He’s so dang cute. πŸ˜€πŸΎβ€οΈ

Good morning from Northside.

Slow down and grill.

We fired up the grill again this evening…

First, we grilled some marinated chicken breasts and onions…

And then we grilled some burgers…

And finally, hot dogs and bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers…

We had a huge grilled feast for dinner…

And the jalapeno poppers were delicious too!

YUM! Everything always tastes better on the grill. πŸ˜€πŸ”πŸŒ­πŸ”πŸ₯“πŸŒΆοΈβ€οΈ

Things are getting a bit better?

It was really nice this morning. Genifer and I drove over to get Sidewinder Coffee before she left for the office and before I headed upstairs to get to work.

And this morning, Sidewinder had new cinnamon rolls and I got the last one…

It was a really good cinnamon roll. Not as good as the original cinnamon twists that Sidewinder used to have. Those were some of the best cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had. But this one was pretty darn good. It reminded me a lot of the cinnamon muffin we shared at Overeasy in Dallas. πŸ˜€β˜•οΈβ€οΈ

But maybe, just maybe, this was a little sign that things are starting to return to normal just a little bit.

Four years & two months.

Today is the four year and two month anniversary of our wedding in Jamaica

It’s crazy to me that it’s already been four years. πŸ˜€πŸ‡―πŸ‡²πŸ’β€οΈ

Good morning from Northside.

Good morning from Northside. This is week seven of working from home. πŸ˜·πŸŒ„β€οΈ

It’s what’s for dinner.

We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Creamy Chili Verde Chicken Penne with corn&poblano peppers…

It was another really delicious Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal. Their meals always combine such interesting ingredients. The creamy chili verde pasta with chicken and corn was all very tasty. And it had just the right amount of spicy. It was really good.

We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. πŸ˜€πŸœπŸ”β€οΈ

And this was our 200th It’s what’s for dinner post on our blog!

Another Northside sidewalk snail.

We saw another Northside sidewalk snail on our dog walk this morning…

Discovering little sidewalk snails on our morning dog walks are one of the best parts spring and summer in Northside. πŸ˜€πŸŒβ€οΈ
