Official Beginning of Summer

Memorial Day weekend came with infinitely better weather than suggested by the forecasters or the preceding two weeks of rain.

We spent time with Andrea, John, Nyla & Noah and others including the Browns. Struggled to fit in three barbecues. Missed John Sr. and Jeannette.

Seen in Hudson

This appeared a couple of weeks ago opposite the Hudson Opera House on Warren St. here in Hudson. Not sure who is responsible for this juxtaposition of “shalom” and “salaam”, though a quick search on the web shows that this is new only to me.

Seen About Hudson

A few images from a morning walk.

I have taken hundreds of pictures of fire connections. Not sure why. Recently I have only added to this collection when I see a new use for them. Sometimes this is people perching on them. Sometimes they are holding up coffee, beer bottles, candy wrappers….

The City of Hudson clearly doesn’t believe in modern chemistry. Can’t think of the last time I saw so many dandelions.

My favorite stairs.

Maybe this is just part of a seasonal business’s normal cycle, but??

I know that this is a worn out topic here in Hudson. Nevertheless, I remain amazed at the bad taste of the county government to litter one of the best parks in the city with all of these signs. Why have a ark if you don’t want people to loll in the grass? Is the only purpose of this park to be a prop for war memorials? Why did they so proudly tout that a local builder had replaced the roof on the gazebo when it is almost never used? Strange thinking.
