We have a side yard now!

This morning we woke up early to get over to Lowe’s…

We wanted to get a big drum of stain for our brand new fence. It’s so exciting. After we chose our stain, we headed over to Mad Llama for our Saturday morning coffee…

I bet about half of our runs to Lowe’s and the grocery have just thinly veiled excuses to run across town to get Mad Llama coffee because it is so good…

When we our new fence was installed, we had them move our gate up to the street side of our side door. It gave us a little side yard space that is actually usable now. This afternoon we worked on cleaning up on newly formed little side yard space…

When they ripped up our street to replace the water main, they left a pile of the bricks on the side of our street. It turns those bricks were the original cobblestone bricks from back in the day when Beech Hill was a brick cobblestone street. We grabbed as many of those bricks as we could and stacked them by our air conditioner on the side of our house. We weren’t sure what we were going to be using them for until today. We used them to line the path in our little side yard…

Good evening from Northside…

And good evening from our backyard…

With our new fence…

And our new little side yard…

😀🌄🏡❤️

Oven pizza hoagie party.

We were pretty lazy today…

Good morning from Northside…

We made a Home Run Inn oven pizza for lunch…

I think Home Run Inn makes on the best frozen pizzas around.

And it turned out to be a pretty nice day…

Good evening from Northside…

And we had an NYPD hoagie party for dinner. Again..

We’ve been all about the NYPD lately. We like it a lot. 😀🌄🍕🥪❤️

Welcome to this morning.

Good morning from Northside…

After our walk, we walked to get Sidewinder coffee…

And good evening from Northside…

It’s hard to believe that today marks the 19th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11th

Look up in the sky.

I saw a news article this morning that said smoke from wildfires in Oregon and California has already made its way to Greater Cincinnati…

The midwest won’t see the orange haze like cities along the west coast, but the
high-altitude smoke could lead to intense sunsets. The National Weather Service in Cleveland on Wednesday said the wildfire smoke in the upper atmosphere had made
it to the Midwest, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley, leading to hazy and “grayish skies.”

I thought I noticed the skies looking a little hazy lately. I noticed it more yesterday morning than today. But I guess the skies this morning looked a little hazy too…

Good morning from Northside…

I could notice it more closer to the horizon. It just looked a little muddy.

This evening it was just kind of cloudy and overcast…

And good evening from Northside…

We’ll have to keep an eye on the skies and see if it continues to seem hazy. 😀🌄☁️❤️

Taco Tuesday on a Wednesday?

Good morning from Northside…

I had a bunch of delicious tacos for lunch…

Taco Tuesday on a Wednesday? That’s just how we roll over here. Why should Tuesday be the only day to have all the fun?

Good evening from Northside…

We worked on cleaning up the ivy a bit more in our backyard…

I think we’re ready for our fence to be replaced tomorrow. 😀🌄🌮🏡❤️

Hello from Northside.

It’s always hard to get back into the swing of things after a long weekend…

Good morning from Northside…

They got back to work on our basement again today after the long weekend…

And good evening from Northside…

For dinner tonight, we had another one of the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meals for dinner tonight. This one was Cheddar and Crispy Potato Crusted Chicken with chipotle ranch roasted vegetables…

It was another really delicious dinner. We really like the Kroger Prep+Pared Home Chef Express meal kits a lot. And that made it a pretty good Tuesday. 😀🌄🐔❤️

Hello there, Pumpkin.

HAPPY LABOR DAY! We’ve had a really great long weekend so far…

Good morning from Northside…

This morning we ran over to the grocery…

And it’s that time of year again. pumpkin spice everything…

And they didn’t have the bear OR the train in the international aisle…

And we had to get our coffee from Mad Llama

We didn’t get pumpkin spice anything. Genifer got a caramel latte and I got my beloved caramel java whip. Mad Llama’s coffees are so good.

Later, we started clearing all the ivy from our fence…

Our backyard fence is finally getting replaced this week! We’re so excited.

And once we cleared as much of the ivy as we could, it was time to reward ourselves with an NYPD Hoagie party

NYPD Hoagies are so delicious. And the cheese fries were really good too!

And good evening from Northside…

It was a pretty nice Monday to wrap up the long holiday weekend. 😀🌄❤️

Our street was flooded.

When we taking Mack on a walk this evening, our street was flooded…

I guess the new water main they just recently replaced must have burst…

Good evening from Northside…

By the time we got around the block, Cincinnati Waterworks was already on the scene had already turned off the water and were starting to get the situation under control…

And they were working fixing the problem late into the night. I took these photos just after midnight…

Thank goodness for our sound machine. We didn’t hear a thing. And when we woke up in the morning, this was the only evidence that something unusual happened on our street…

And they must have been bleeding the line or something because this fire hydrant was just gushing out water for most of the morning…

It’s seems like there’s always something interesting happening on our street. 😀🚧💦❤️

Good evening from Northside.

On our way home from Mad Tree Brewing, we stopped at Target to pick up a few things including a new TV…

This isn’t our new TV…

Our new TV is too big for our TV stand in our living room. So we had to put our new TV in our bedroom and our bedroom TV in our living room. Maybe we’ll switch them back. Maybe we won’t. The new TV is pretty nice. But the old TV is pretty nice too. So now we have two really nice TVs. And the old living room TV is now in our guest bedroom. We moved around a lot of TVs this evening.

It was very pretty outside this evening…

This rather sizable cross section of tree has mysteriously appeared atop the hill at the end of our street…

And good evening from Northside…

It was such a pretty evening that later we sat out on our front patio for a little bit and watched some of the Reds doubleheader…

We sat out on our front patio hoping the mosquitoes wouldn’t be as bad as in our back yard. But we still needed to load up on the bug spray even on our front porch. We had a fun Friday evening despite the mosquitoes. And the Reds split their doubleheader with the Pirates. 😀🌄❤️

Hello from Northside.

It started out as a very grey and rainy morning…

Good morning from Northside…

But later this evening, it had turned into a really day…

Good evening from Northside…

And good evening from our backyard…

Hello from Northside. And hello four-day holiday weekend! 😀🌄❤️
