ABC Wednesday - S is for Spectacular!
I'm out of town again - it's so hard to keep up when one is not in one's usual routine! It's another picture from where I am - Niagara Falls, Ontario. This is the view from our window.
Our third window, by the way. My husband, Goldilocks, wasn't happy until we were given a room on the 18th floor! Perseverance pays off....spectacular views were the reward. I haven't been here in years and years and it's amazing to see the power of water.

ABC Wednesday - R is for Resplendent
I caught him through my window this morning...
I haven't seen him show off his tailfeathers yet, but I'll keep my camera ready - just in case.
UPDATE: I got him! He came back to the courtyard and fussed and ruffled and finally gave us all a peek at his full regalia! (Oh, I could have used that word today!)

ABC Wednesday - P is for Plastic
I have my "green" hat on today. Right in the middle of my ruminations about what to post for the letter P I came across an interesting YouTube video called "Plastic Plague". From National Geographic it is a short report on the damaging effects of plastic on our oceans and wildlife.
I know we all know this, but after viewing it, I suddenly wondered what I should do about this...

I could try my hand at "artificial" flowers...but I'm thinking that I would not be so good at it...

Any other ideas? If I can recycle my plastic bags and keep that part of my impact on the earth to a minimum maybe I can come up with some others, too. I've been carrying my own shopping bags for awhile now, so once this supply is gone - then my work will be done - for plastic bags anyway....
Happy Earth Day - every day.

ABC Wednesday - O is for Olive Oil
And olives outdoors on the porch on one of the first beautiful days of Spring! We had other things, too...prosciutto and sundried tomatoes....
Buon appetito!

ABC Wednesday - N is for New York City
I love New York! Fortunately for me, my daughter lives there so I can go visit anytime I want to! It's not the shopping or the restaurants that I love. I love the people, the energy and the enormous-ness of it all.
Annie lives in Chelsea and that allows us to go East side, West side, all around the town with relative ease. And there's always something interesting to do and see...Find more ABC Wednesday posts here!

ABC Wednesday - M is for Maia
We named her for the patron saint of my husband's town in Italy, Muro Lucano. The patron saint is St. Gerard and his feast day is October 16th - and that's the day we spent an hour and a half in the shelter trying to find the perfect match in a cat for us. We did. She's been the best cat ever - except when she pulls the stunt above: sleeping in the flower box hanging over the railing two stories up from the ground!
