And, it’s actually January!



If the City doesn’t shovel its sidewalks, do the rest of us have to?

On the walk home, crossing the Trident at Gallaudet Square.  If this was the sidewalk in front of my house, the City would have cited me.  Who cites the City?  Just asking.



The new patio area at 207 Garden in the snow

On foot today because of the weather.  The new patio area at 207 Garden looks nice in the snow.



Progress at 847 Asylum

847 Asylum Avenue
1/5/2024

The apartments are officially separate from the homeowner’s unit now, with insulation filling the thresholds that used to let us pass freely from the front of the house to the back of the house.  Insulation is now in all over the place as well, and there’s a new wall in the basement.  Short, but still.



More holiday cheer!

Tiana Hercules has decorated 33 Sargeant Street for the holidays.



It really is time to do something about signs in the neighborhood

Saw – or really, didn’t see – this sign on my way home tonight (I was walking!).  This sign designates lane restrictions at the Broad Street onramp onto Interstate 84, heading southbound on Broad Street.

And the streetlights are out, too.



Outside my window at Veeder Place today

Saw a vibrant double rainbow today.  First shot looks north, across the train tracks from my office, and the next shot is from the eastern end of the building.  And then, a shot with both ends of the rainbow!

 As for all the boxes, the eastern end of the floor serves as a storage area for Express Kitchens.



Caroling in the Park!

I am not sure how many times this makes – plus we took that year or two off for the pandemic – but we were back at it again tonight, our annual Caroling in Sigourney Square Park! 

It was kind of cold.  Really kind of cold.  We were all happy to move to Glory Chapel for hot chocolate afterwards. 

Photos include one of what has become an annual tradition, the photo of Santa Claus, Flake (his number one elf), and me.



In the kitchen at 847 Asylum Avenue

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve shown any photos of the kitchen in awhile, either.  It is definitely starting to take shape, now that we’ve settled on moving the kitchen around to where it would have been originally in the house.

Shots include the kitchen as well as the former kitchen, where the institutional kitchen had been and where we thought the kitchen would go again.



In the basement at 847 Asylum Avenue

A quick walk around the basement.  I hardly ever show photos of basements.  Most of them aren’t as interesting as the one here at 847.
