Garden Party

The library holds an annual garden party fundraiser. I should have taken more photos. I didn't take any of the gorgeous gardens.

Food, beer

(e:Terry) had a livingsocial coupon for Spicy Thai on Sheridan that expired yesterday, so I got to use it since he's on vacay! I took Meredith with me. We had the papaya salad and sweet potato puffs (like samosas) for appetizers, she got pad thai for entree and I got the Bankok tofu. SOOO YUMMY! I've liked everything I've gotten there. It's not quite the same as other thai places I've been, it's a little more original.

Then it was time for beer club at Mr. Goodbar. It was heavy on the IPAs, happy Heidi!

Lenore won a six of Southampton IPA and promptly gave it to me :-) I also scored two bottles of the Red Rye PA because there were so few people attending that everyone got to take some home.

Unfortunately, I had to be at the Mariott next to North Campus at 9am for a continuing legal education program. I was luckily only about 5 min late. I'm fascinated by hotel carpeting.

Fog

I drove from Bloss to Buffalo at some ridiculously early hour today. The fog was lifting from the mountains in neat well defined stripes. The first four shots are driving into a stripe behind a white car that gets lost in the fog.

Gone!

The dark edge at the top is another mountain behind some well defined fog.

Models, tents and chickens

The only good shot I got from (e:flacidness)' fashion show:

I got a new tent!! Finally tried it out at Brushwood last weekend. It was awesome! Great size, easy to set up, love the dual-doors & vestibules.

Doggies at the ATM

Mickey rats

Beach #1: closed
Beach #2: closed between the time we pulled in and the time we changed clothes
Beach #3: beach at Mickey Rats. We thought (e:tinypliny) would enjoy the sign. The water smelled like sewage & fish, so we had a beer and left.
Backyard: sprinkler, better beer. Ahhh...

Birthday gaming

We celebrated (e:puddlediving)'s 39th birthday last night with gaming. This is 7 Wonders. Also played Alhambra. We have a new set of expansions for it but didn't use any of them because two players hadn't played the core game. Happy birthday, Lana!

Fireflies in the ANF

We took a camping trip in June to the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania's only national forest, to see the synchronous fireflies during their mating season. These fireflies are best known in Asia and the Great Smokey Mountains but Allegheny Defense Project noticed them last year and brought researchers in to check 'em out this year.

They're amazing. Breath-taking amazing.

I didn't even try to take pix of the fireflies - incredibly difficult shooting conditions, much much harder than fireworks. So I took pix of camping.

A lovely wedding

A couple of the coop house kids got married on Thursday afternoon near the upper rapids at Niagara Falls State Park. A simple Episcopalian ceremony, a picnic, and croquet!
