10/26/26 16:32: N Q: Homely I have a feeling the story behind this building is that some architecture decided he wanted to make a name for himself with this design.
That's good news about your tomatoes being saved, my CT gardening friend had bury her fence a foot below the ground level to keep critters out. I love pesto, what all do you put in it ?
If you're looking for assisted living or a nursing home for your MIL, be prepared for extremely high prices, around here they start at $10,000 a month and go up to around $25,000 a month !! I hope you find a place for her and close enough so you can visit her. When we put dad into a nursing home, he was able to pay for the first 6 months and after that he was luckily able to get on Medicaid but that meant that he went from a single occupancy room to a double occupancy room, he was lucky again with only having a roommate a couple of short periods of time :)
Handling ailing parents isn't easy, especially with your work load...take it easy if you can !
10/24/26 13:58: Homely: Glad you made this comment, N Q - I've not seen this cam since the project was under heavy construction. I love the way they designed the modern building to bend around the old one. Would love to know the story! And I have a garden update - the early damage was done by a groundhog that figured out how to dig under the fence. Got that stabilized and had a fairly (for me) successful season. I have pounds and pounds of tomatoes in the freezer and a bunch of pesto to tide me over through winter. Plus one more batch of jalapenos to preserve. But I've been too busy to get to it, and now my MIL has had a crisis that requires major intervention and seeking new housing for her. I'd like to slow down for just a minute someday!
10/24/26 13:52: Homely: Nice find, N Q!
10/22/26 15:57: N Q: It looks like somebody finally decided to point this cam upwards instead of being pointed towards the ground.
10/11/26 15:27: N Q: They finally finished the landscaping here, it's looking good.
10/11/26 02:50: N Q: Homely I hope work slows down for you soon before you end up getting burnt out !
My summer of watching the explore.org Brook Falls bears is coming to an end, most of them are headed off to hibernate. If you're wondering about the bear, they're brown bears and I'm sure you've heard about the Sept Fat bear contest, it was a news story on pretty much every network and my favorite bear Backpack won this year :)
10/08/26 03:17: Homely: Hi All - Checking in. Have had a brutal few months at work and putting in wayyyy too many hours. I am getting too old for this s%!t!!! Thought I would poke my head in on this cam and maybe it would be working again... nope! Hope you all are well.
