My Alibi

I try to get in to work by 6:30 on Fridays. It gives me a precious extra hour or so to get work done without interruptions so that I can leave at a decent time in the afternoon.

I try to get in to work by 6:30, but yesterday I didn't get in until 7:00, even though I got up at my regular time. Luckily, I got a good photo of the culprit that kept me from getting into work on time:

Northern Griot, Urban Sharecropper: Part 5

I'm happy to say that the garden is finally starting to bear fruits and vegetables. It is still a bit early for the tomatoes -- the bushes are loaded but the fruits are still green -- but the first crop of peppers has been harvested (and eaten).

Northern Griot, Urban Sharecropper: Part 4 (or Garden Pride)

My balcony garden is growing quite well, helped no doubt by the summer-like temperatures we have been having for the past 6 weeks. The hot temperatures are causing one small problem -- all my zucchini flowers are males, which means I may not end up with fruit despite the many flowers. It looks like the bars on Church Street are not the only all-male environment during this Pride Week.
