Of course, this was the main reason I stopped at Here Coffee and Beer. I mentioned this Brown Ale in the second post in this series. As I was sitting on the platform at Irvington station, tired and thirsty, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I decided to stop and have one (actually two as it turned out). It was the perfect end to the day.

Still life in a friend’s garden

I came across this appealing composition in a friend’s garden.

The crane statue is a recent addition. I know this because it was one of the items being thrown out at the Law Mansion (See: Sunday Morning Walk Home from The Patio – Walter Law’s Mansion). I initially took this piece, but later decided that it would work better in her garden than in mine. So I gave it to her.
