a post of the past

look! royal potatoes

and we ate them.

a veralouie reader requested more pictures of the authors.
today, i am accomodating this request...

one of the pictures above reminds me that i have a post from this summer that was never published. and i think a post from this summer is fitting on a fall day when the temperature is nothing more than a blustery 37 degrees.

a posting from a summer weekend when any fall-like colors came from chairs on a terrace near a lake.

when kit and natalie, former madisonians, wore sweatshirts only because southern illinois thinned their blood

at a friday night frisbee game...

matt m. and his guns...


saturday... we traveled down to the state of toll roads and suburbs for sissy's friend's wedding
