Today we walked through Philip Johnson’s lovely Glass House, New Canaan, CT, then took the train back to Manhattan.

Today, 120% tourist in Manhattan. I was privileged to catch Lady Liberty in Times Square checking the money supply.

Getting ready for the winter: blowing out the irrigation today.

Filled up the tank in our 1996 Honda Civic today. That’s the fourth time I’ve filled it up this year.

IDS Center today: walked through gorgeous Crystal Court. I’ll explore another Philip Johnson masterpiece this week.

My clockwork trainset had one of these. Thrilled to spot a “big-boy” level junction while cycling today.

Lazy day. Watched Dwight sift coriander seeds from the garden. I’ll cook with them in January to remind us of summer.

AC wrapped in polyethylene and duct tape. No, not a #walkerart installation; just me embracing the change of season.

It’s a damp grey day. A good day to write about a crane.

Finally, it’s raining. Time to catch up on errands and household chores.

Found more bike routes to explore.

My library afternoon: people with work history, but no home address or phone, applying for jobs with no health plans.

Gave away frozen apple crisp kits today to neighbors. Plenty more in (stuffed) freezer.

Apple crisp kit production line, today. Tree produced its best apples ever: we stopped picking at 100 lbs.

Went in search of elusive Nordeast Passage–a bike-friendly route through NE Minneapolis. Found this friendly signal.

Uncle Vanya tonight.
