Another gorgeous day to get my hands dirty! The front yard is finished, the deck has flowers and I'm nearly ready for summer...The first of my peonies is looking good and Lucy's big, purple, onion-y thing is spectacular. This is the first of an anticipated series of photo postings highlighting gardens in the DelSo. Enjoy!

I Pandered to the Vegetarians and Other Confessions and Observations from a Neighborhood Potluck
An invite appeared in my mailbox last week inviting us to attend a Neighborhood Potluck Dinner. Amazingly enough, the date and time worked for us, and we were able to spend an enjoyable hour or two getting to know other residents of the DelSo.

The Pine Hills area of Albany is lovely with lots of trees, good schools, and an array of 2-family home options. We concentrated our search in that area and came up empty. … Continue reading Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Sunny Sunday Supper
Say that title 3 times fast. Anyway - I've been running my mouth for the last couple of days about how Sunday was going to be "Greek" night at our house. Give me a little ground lamb and some feta and somehow that equals Greek in my mind. Dinner ended up having even more variety … Continue reading Sunny Sunday Supper
Steal MY bike. Please.
Walking through the DelSo, I saw some bicycles standing at attention on the front porch of a duplex. My first thought was "I hope those don't get stolen." We are acutely familiar with the incidence of bike theft in Albany - it is epidemic. Our family has had 4 bicycles stolen through the years, one … Continue reading Steal MY bike. Please.
