These day lilies didn't bloom the first two years we lived here. After some growing years and, I suspect, more sun due to the removal of some trees, they are bloomi...

My darling wife and son got me a survival radio for Father's Day, a Microlink FR160 MultiPurpose Radio from Eton.It has a flashlight, radio with AM/FM and weather bands, and is rechargeable using its built in solar panel or a by turning a crank. It can even recharge some USB devices like cell phones.

Finally got a picture of the repainted railroad bridge over Rt 141 just south of Rt 52. This view is the view driving south.

The future wife is with the Mr. Smee character in the foreground and the future husband's dad is clearly visible pushing a stroller with the future husband in it in the center in the background....

Perhaps this driver is a Pittsburgh Hockey fan or likes Antarctica. The bonus on this DE license plate is that the owner has done the classic Delaware substitution of the special 1 written as a capital I to be the I in penguin. One wonders if there is anothe plate in the state with an real I in the I positi...
