The Weekend Roundup, 'I'

It is Saturday in the lead-up to Labor / Labour Day, so it's time for Tom's fun meme, The Weekend Roundup. Given the many days of heat and humidity in Southern New England (well, not nearly as hot as Phoenix nor as humid as Houston), the first photos take us away from Summer for a bit...

Beginning with 'I' begins with Icicles and my view Inside of an Icy Rain storm outside our front door from wheelchair height. The pics are from 2011 where we had an unusually cold, snowy and Icy winter.

Industrial. Here are massive fuel tanks along the docks of New Haven Harbor.

Finally, here is a pic of the Intercoastal Waterway taken from the mainland side in Stuart Florida. This is an old print taken in December 1980 (where it was not Icy :). Happy Labor Day!

Friday Hunt, 2017.1.9

It is again time for Teresa's fun meme, Friday Hunt. The clues are in as am I now...

Starts with I. Two are presented this week, but are not from this winter, thankfully. The first (L) is Inch - our daughter measured the new snow on January 12, 2011. It was 15 inches (38 cm) that day. Our daughter wielded the tape measure, happily wearing gloves...to the right, taken a couple of weeks later (Jan. 27, 2011) after yet another massive snowfall - the icicles that formed over the gutter. Pretty sky, mean, jagged icicle. Happily, the winter of 2010-2011 passed, as will this winter - even as an Arctic blast is descending on us tonight...

Week's Favorite. Patti went to a Read Across America Day event at Bungay School in neighboring Seymour CT. Here, the school's Principal performs Green Eggs and Ham with the Cat in the Hat in front of the students in the gym. She looks great, although all the moves in high heels may have been a bit uncomfortable...

Nose. This was taken by passenger Patti in 1999 on the Fort Pitt Bridge in Pittsburgh and it is me, looking at the road as my profile is captured. Note the old Three Rivers Stadium in the background. Thanks as always for the meme, Teresa!
