The trees colors are starting to change up on top of the hill at the end of our street…
Good morning from Northside…
We walked to Sidewinder to get Friday morning coffee…
And good evening from Northside…
We had delicious ramen noodles for dinner tonight…
We’ve been working on staining our new backyard fence…
It turns out I’m not very good at painting at all…
Thank goodness it’s Friday. 😀🌄☕️🍜❤️

It’s pretty crazy to me that today is the first day of October…
For still being in the middle of a global pandemic, stuck at home and not really being able to do much of anything, this year certainly has flown right by. I would like my 2020 back, please. I think we should all get to take a mulligan for this year and get to try 2020 over again next year.
They weren’t working on our street this morning. So we got to go back up to the top of the hill at the end of our street and say…
Good morning from Northside!
This is what the street looked like in front of our house this morning…
But a little while later, they filled it in with asphalt…
And good evening from Northside…
We ordered hoagie sammiches from NYPD…
And after we stuffed our faces full of delicious NYPD hoagie sammiches and french fries, we played ball in our backyard and we watched the beautiful sunset clouds….
It’s just really nuts that it’s already October. 😀🌄🥪🍟❤️

It ended up being another grey and overcast day today but just like yesterday, the clouds were so pretty. This morning, this evening, and later from our backyard…
Good evening from Northside…
And Genifer made this terrific cheesy turkey, sweet potato, and spinach skillet bake for dinner tonight…
It was so delicious. She always finds the best recipes to make. Other than that, it was just another Wednesday. I’m ready for this week to be over. And I really can’t wait until they’re finally done working on the water main on our street so we can go back up to the top of the hill at the end of our street in the mornings. 😀🌄☁️🌥️❤️

Seven years ago, the Reds lost in the NL Wild Card game to the Pirates…
We didn’t walk the dogs up to the top of the hill at the end of our street this morning. They were working on the end of our street at the bottom of the hill so we went the other way.
Usually, during the day there is one dog on each floor. Oscar hangs out on the first floor most of the time. Mainly because he refuses to go up and down the stairs. So he’ll hang out on whatever floor you put him on…
Bear hangs out with me in the studio on our second floor. He sits behind me while I’m working during the day. But he follows me wherever I go. He’s like my fuzzy shadow…
And Mack sleeps pretty much wherever he likes…
He hangs out on the third floor a lot. Or he also likes sleeping in the front bedroom on the second floor.
This afternoon they poured the concrete out in front of our house to replace our sidewalk. And as soon as they were done and moved on down the block, I went out to write our initials in the concrete…
I’ve never had the opportunity to write anything in concrete before. They smoothed it over once. But I went back out to rewrite our initials…
Later this evening, we slowed down to grill…
As soon as we got inside with all of our delicious grilled food, it started raining. And when we went to take the dog on their walk after we finished eating, there was a beautiful rainbow up at the top of the hill at the end of our street…
Good evening from Northside…
And good evening from our backyard…
It was a really good Tuesday, as far as Tuesdays go. 😀🌄☁️🌈🐾❤️

The clouds were really pretty when we woke up this morning…
But it was getting pretty gray when we were taking the dogs on their walk…
Good morning from Northside…
They were working on our street again this morning…
I’ve really enjoyed watching all the machines from our WyzeCams…
We had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. We had the Stroganoff Pork Meatballs with potatoes and peas again…
The stroganoff sauce was so good we had to have this meal again. And it was another really delicious dinner the second time around. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
It was sprinkling a little bit as we took the dogs around the block…
Good evening from Northside…
The sky was really pretty this evening…
It was a really beautiful blue-gray.
And the sunset was even prettier from our backyard…
It was just a day of very pretty skies. 😀🌄☁️❤️
We watched Enola Holmes on Netflix tonight. It was pretty good.

Good morning from Northside…
We stopped at the grocery out in West Chester…
Ugh. Those don’t even really sound good. 😝 But they did have the panda AND train at this Kroger…
We stopped at Skyline for lunch to go…
We took lunch over to Geri’s to visit for a bit. And then it was back home…
Good evening from Northside…
We had a wonderful Sunday. The weekends always go by so fast. 😀🌄🐼🚂🌭🍝❤️

Apparently, the construction crew doesn’t work on Fridays because it is very quiet on our street this morning…
Good morning from Northside…
We walked to get Sidewinder to get coffee…
Our little shrub in our front yard had a couple of pretty little autumn looking flowers blooming on it…
We walked to the Helltown Bazaar Workshop…
It was their last day. They were going out of business tomorrow…
It’s not super surprising that they are closing their doors. They had really strange, very sporadic hours. Like Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 3. No real wonder they went out of business.
We got a vintage coffee mug and some new masks. Today was National Quesadilla Day. Then we continued on to Django Western Taco to pick up dinner…
We shared a jerk chicken quesadilla and some tacos and chips & salsa…
We also got some churros and caramel sauce…
And a slice of lemon cheesecake…
And good evening from Northside…
It was a great Friday in Northside. 😀🌄☕️🛍️😷🌮❤️

The day got off to an overcast start…
Good morning from Northside…
They started working in front of our house again this morning…
There was a lot going on for quick second on our street…
And that’s the progress they made today…
Good evening from Northside…
Mack and Oscar were all tuckered out…
It’s not everyday construction equipment rips up your street, let alone your front yard. 😀🌄🚧🐾❤️

They showed up bright and early to start working on our street again…
And the drilling started in front of our house…
Good morning from Northside…
This morning we popped our flowers out of the ground…
It was well after 1pm and they still weren’t working on our house yet…
And they must have accidentally hit the water main…
Because all of a sudden, our street was a river. Again…
And that was all they managed to get accomplished today.
Good evening from Northside…
Our street is a patchwork quilt of steel plates right now…
For dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Stroganoff Pork Meatballs with potatoes and peas…
It was another really delicious dinner. The stroganoff sauce has always been one of my favorites. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot.
Maybe they’ll work on our house tomorrow. 😀🌄🚧🌊🍜❤️

Good morning from Northside…
It looked like they were going to make it to our house to start working on our water line this morning…
So we pushed our rocks back and pulled up our bricks…
But by this afternoon, they still hadn’t got to our house yet…
It seems like our house is littered with clusters of dog toys…
We had delicious Ramen noodles for dinner tonight…
I stumbled upon these incredible Korean BBQ Ramen noodles at the grocery. They’re so tasty and good, and a little spicy.
Good evening from Northside…
Maybe they’ll start working in front of our house tomorrow. 😀🌄🚧🍜❤️
