a walk on a windy day


i headed downtown at around 11 am this morning to visit duane park patisserie for a lemon tarte to bring to our neighbor this evening (we were invited for dinner).

french bulldog alert . . 





up ahead is an orange compost container where i leave our compost that has meat and fish bones and dairy. it's goes into a city anaerobic digestion operator (either wet or dry) which produces biogas or digestate. i don't quite understand it (it's different from the vegetable composting that happens in the park) but you can read more about it on this website (if you like).



i couldn't resist having a cafe au lait and a hot cross bun (which was delicious). i'm also finally knitting a sock (it's been a few years). the tarte and a few other treats were in a bag at my feet.

beautiful witch hazel . . 

oh . . the wind . . 

it's definitely the month of march . .

  1. That wind is strong! We have had some beautiful days- but cold weather is returning
    That hot cross bun looks gorgeous
    As a child we only had them on Good Friday- I might grab a a flight and try one myself

  2. The biogas is interesting: The only landfill in our county will have to close because it is full, but some company is going to get biogas/methane from it. That seems to be similar to yours. Lots of wind you are getting! The witch hazel is so beautiful! How was the dinner? Is that bulldog the same kind as Jack was?

    1. The bulldog was a French bulldog and was smaller than Jack. Of course, Jack was quite big even for an English bulldog. Witch hazel is such an interesting plant I think . . and pretty. Yes, my neighbor made Chilean Sea Bass . . it was very good. She really enjoys cooking.
