Some more little blooms.

Good morning from Northside…

We made turkey and cheese roll-ups on a panini press for lunch…

Good evening from Northside…

Our little ground cover plants have started flowering…

We had a pretty good Wednesday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ¦ƒπŸ§€πŸŒ―β€οΈ

It was just a Tuesday.

It was another rainy and grey morning…

Good morning from Northside…

And it was sunny again this afternoon…

Good evening from Northside…

We ate leftover spaghetti for dinner and watched the NBA Eastern Conference play-in games this evening.

It was just a Tuesday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„β€οΈ

That’s my focus.

The NBA playoffs start tonight with the new play-in format that I think makes the playoffs even more exciting.

But this was just an excuse to embed the greatest NBA playoff hype spot of all time…

You gotta stay focused. My Memphis Grizzlies play in the Western Conference 9/10 game on Wednesday at 7:30pm on ESPN…

Rainy days are for Chipotle.

It was pouring down rain this morning. The dogs didn’t even make it to the end of the street before they turned around to head for home…

Genifer ordered us Chipotle for lunch again…

This is how mack was sleeping in our office studio while I was working…

It stopped raining in time for our evening walk..

Good evening from Northside…

Genifer has been working on painting our dining room…

We ate the rest of our Chipotle for dinner and headed upstairs for the evening…

We need to find a new series to watch. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„β˜”οΈπŸŒ§οΈπŸŒ―πŸ–ŒοΈβ€οΈ

Fantasy basketball 2021.

I played NBA fantasy basketball again this year.Β And just like last years COVID shortened season, I played eight teams again. Seven of my eight teams made the playoffs. Six of those seven made it to the championship round. And four of those six won their leagues. Four championships from eight teams is pretty good, right?

Fantasy basketball makes the basketball season so much fun, and this was another great season. πŸ˜€πŸ€πŸ†β€οΈ

It’s starting to look better.

Today got off to kind of an overcast start…

Good morning from Northside…

We ran back over to Lowe’s this morning…

And we stopped at Mad Llama for coffee and bagels…

And then we did some work in our yard. We finally finished staining our fence…

We planted these marigolds…

We hung our wind chimes…

We got a couple of plants for our hanging baskets…

We forgot to get more pea gravel for our side yard. But we got another planter…

Two more little planters…

And planted plants in them…

But we ran out of potting soil before we could get to our Yucca…

We planted more marigolds…

We moved our little ground coverings from the side yard to the front yard…

Hopefully, they do better over here…

And we got this little mini rose bush…

Next, we’ll have to work on our grass and try to figure out what to do with the path in the backyard and there has been talk of a couple of rock rivers. But it’s starting to look a little better in our backyard.

Good evening from Northside…

We sat on our patio and watched FC Cincinnati lose the home opener in their beautiful new stadium…

We ate frozen oven pizzas…

And called it a Sunday…

We had another really good day. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ‘πŸŒ»βš½οΈβ€οΈ

Timehopping.

Six years ago was the infamous Power Stack fire game at GABP…

Milan was snug as a bug in a rug…

And do you remember Fork Heart Knife that used to be up on Main Street in OtR?

Their frittata and those spiced potatoes were just amazing…

Thanks for the memories, Timehop. πŸ˜€πŸ¦•βšΎοΈβ€οΈ

Soccer Saturday with some yardwork.

Good morning from Northside…

We ran over to Lowe’s to get some stuff for our backyard…

We listened to the FA Cup final while we almost finished staining our fence…

But we ran out of stain. Again. And we put some little pea gravel down on the other side of the path in our side yard…

We walked to Tickle Pickle to pick up an early dinner…

I’m not certain but I think Tickle Pickle might have got a big new sign…

But they have fries now!

BAM!

And the fries were delicious…

Good evening from Northside…

Tomorrow, we’ll go get some more stain for our fence and some flowers for our side yard…

Later, we watched the ladies of Racing Louisville play to nil-nil draw…

And we watched Minnesota United snatch a 1-0 win in the 95th minute

It was a really good Saturday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ–ŒοΈπŸ”πŸŸβš½οΈβ€οΈ

The FA Cup Final.

I’ve been a fan of Arsenal football club for as long as I can remember. My love for the club dates back to the early nineties. Way back in the day, I would watch (and record) the hour-long highlight show from the week that was in the English first division. And I fell in love with Arsenal. I fell hard. Their name, their kit, their larger-than-life cast of characters, their style of play with all the intricate passing, and jaw-dropping team goals. Before Arsene Wenger led the club to new heights. Heck, even before there was even an English Premier League. Arsenal has just always been my team for as long as I can remember.

Fast forward to the start of the 2014/15 season, and newly promoted Leceister City caught my attention. I still remember the piece NBCSN did on the newly promoted Foxes from “Lester.” And I thought if Arsenal were my top-of-the-table team, Leceister would be my relegation battle team. Leicester survived their first season back in the Premier League and then went on to become Premier League Champions during their unbelievably magical 2015/16 season. All of a sudden Leicester is my team competing for top-four finishes. Because in the meantime, Arsenal forced out their club legend manager, Arsene Wagner and is now somehow a middle of the table team.

Long story short, I’m a big fan of two football clubs.

Today, Leicester played in their fifth FA Cup final. They’d made the finals on four other occasions and lost all four, the last itme being during the 1968/69 season.

But today, the Foxes won their first-ever FA Cup by beating Chelsea 1-0 on a Youri Tielemans goal from 25 yards out. I collected a bunch of images from social media to commemorate the occasion…

It was an amazing match! It had a bit of everything… a banger of a goal from Youri Tielemans, an iconic save from Kasper Schmeichel, VAR controversary and most importantly, Leicester City lifting the Cup!

It’s Friday!

Good evening from Northside…

This morning we walked down to Blue Jay for Friday morning breakfast…

On the way home, we stopped and got Sidewinder coffees and finished out the rest of our work day…

Good evening from Northside…

We hung out in our backyard…

We had a couple of drinks that were in our refrigerator…

We had a good Friday. πŸ˜€πŸŒ„πŸ₯žπŸ»β€οΈ
