Fireside at the Veitch’s

We all had a great meal the other night. Appetizers of shrimp and scallops followed by ribs. Sitting by the fire is a tradition that never fails to bring out good conversation and warm feelings.

Long Overdue Update

Tons of photos! Lots has happened in the past couple years. Left Florida and moved north to New Jersey. I recently spent some time fixing a bunch of issues with this blog and figured I would post some photos.

It came about mid-month and the days have been getting warmer ever since. We are well on our way to completing projects around the house, something we couldn't even thing about doing this time of year up in Meeker. Today I burned the irrigation ditches in the front...

Bonfire for Jeff’s birthday

by up10ad | Wed Oct 1, 2008 | All (Home), Photography | 0 Comments

Sandi and I invited Jeff and Leta for dinner for his birthday and lit up a huge pile of brush and other stuff we had gathered from around the property over the summer. It was quite a display! I snapped this great silhouette of Jeff while he was tending the fire....

Peacock at Magnolia Park

Unfortunately, although I followed him for about 30 minutes, he didn't open his fantail. He looks a bit scraggly so it may not have been that spectacular anyway.

Went to the Central Florida BBQ Blowout at the Oveido Mall parking lot today. At this humongous two-day barbecue competition/celebration, more than 80 teams – both professionals and backyard amateurs – compete hard for the win, and visitors get to taste the luscious...

This isn't a busy site and there certainly isn't any reason for anyone, including bots, to spam my posts with comments. It still happens. Fortunately the Askimet plugin catches 99% of them and they never even make it to me for review. Some of them do slip in and they...

Ride home from the Water Witch coffee shop in Highlands. Time-lapse of about 6.5 miles, 35 minutes or so. I slowed it down for the section on the beach.

Early Morning Run!

Got up early and drove 30 minutes north to Blanchard Park for the Orlando Runners Club 5K. This was a spur of the moment idea when I ran across a blurb for the run online. I haven't done a full 5K for several years but felt I was in shape enough to do it in 2min/1min...

mmmm, asparagus

by up10ad | Thu May 14, 2009 | All (Home), Lifestyle | 0 Comments

All along the irrigation ditch that runs adjacent to our property we have the best volunteer asparagus. On any given day we can just take a walk and pick as much as we need for a great snack or dinner compliment. It is so yummy.
