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 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…
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.
