Good morning from Northside…


And we made it through another work week!


Good evening from Northside…


We saw this little ladybug in our backyard…


Do you remember this one?

We didn’t have any snow this morning but it was still pretty chilly…


Good morning from Northside…


For about a half hour very morning and every afternoon, our street gets completely clogged with school drop-off and pick up traffic…

It’s a real mess. All the school traffic used to go down the next street over from us. That street is wider and better equipped to handle all the school traffic. This daily traffic jam is probably the part of the pandemic I’m most looking forward to going away. But at least the school finally got their grass cut this afternoon…

Good evening from Northside…



We had an NYPD pizza party this evening…


NYPD had a new stuffed crust pizza that we tried tonight…

Oooh! Stuffed crust! It was pretty good stuff. But I can’t believe I didn’t take a photo of all the cheese in the crust. It was really cheesy.
And 12 years ago, I placed my deposit on our little apartment downtown…

😀🌄🍕🧀❤️

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning…







Good morning from Northside…




It was pretty crazy to have snow on April 21st.
But later this evening, the sun had come out and all the snow had melted away…

The street was very steamy…





Good evening from Northside…


And a photo of my very first smart phone popped up in my Timehop today…

Technology has come a long way in the last 12 years. 😀🌄❄️☃️📱❤️

It was a very pretty morning, a little chilly but very pretty…


Good morning from Northside…


But this evening, the clouds moved in and brought some sprinkles…



When we got to the top of the hill at the end of our street, it went from sprinkling…

To raining…

And a good rainy evening from Northside…


Apparently, they’ve started working on the house at the end of our street again…

And we had pesto tortellini for dinner…

It ended up being a pretty and rainy Tuesday. 😀🌄☂️🍽️❤️

Today was Foursquare Day (4.16)…




Good morning from Northside…


And time for post-walk treats…

After work, we tried a couple of beers from my parents trip out west…


The tangerine citrus ale was pretty good but the blueberry wheat was outstanding.


Good evening from Northside…



We ordered off the kids menu for dinner tonight…



It was pretty good start to the weekend. 😀🌄✈️🐾🍻❤️

Good morning from Northside…


This afternoon my very favoritest soccer team, Arsenal played the second leg of their Europa League tie against Slavia Prague in Prague.
The match was the first game since Slavia Prague’s Ondrej Kudula was found guilty of racially abusing Rangers’ Glen Kamara last month and was duly banned for 10 matches by UEFA.
The official statement said they decided “to suspend SK Slavia Praha player, Ondrej Kudela, for the next 10 UEFA club and representative team competition matches for which he would otherwise be eligible to play, for racist behavior.”
Ahead of the match, Slavia Prague players refused to take the knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Arsenal striker and match captain, Alexander Lacazette chose to move a number of steps ahead of his teammates to stare down his opponents while taking the knee…

Given the situation, Lacazette’s stance was particularly poignant. And it’s very a powerful image. There is no place for racism in football nor wider society.
Arsenal scored three goals in an astonishing six-minute flurry. The Gunners ended up winning the match 4-0 with Lacazette netting a brace to knock Slavia Prague out of the tournament 5-1 on aggregate.
Later, we saw another patch of weeds that looked like a stylized little mini forest…




Good evening from Northside…


My parents stopped in town for the evening on their way home from a long road trip out west. We went to Taft’s Brewpourium for dinner…


Genifer just had her nails down earlier in the day…

Taft’s had a jumbo shrimp special tonight. We shared those and loaded tots. And we brought a large Taft’s pizza home with us…

It was wonderful to get to see my parents, even if it was just for a quick visit this evening. 😀🌄⚽️🌲🍕❤️

Good morning from Northside…


On our way home, we walked by one of the houses that’s being renovated and I thought the weeds looked like a very cool, stylized little mini forest…

These too actually…

Now I want to grab my iPad and spend the day drawing forests.


Good evening from Northside…


And we’ve made it halfway through another week. 😀🌄🌲❤️

The sunrise was very pretty this morning…


Good morning from Northside…



Our Edible Arrangement was delivered this afternoon…

We really like the Edible Arrangements.


And good evening from Northside…


It was nice enough this evening that we got to hang out in our backyard for a bit…


Then we ordered Dang! Quesadilla through DoorDash…

We tried a brisket quesadilla, kids (plain) quesadilla and a veggie quesadilla…




And they were all really tasty. We’ll definitely be ordering quesadillas again from Dang!


It turned out to be a pretty nice Tuesday. I hope Genifer had a good birthday.
😀🌄🍽️❤️
