The Last Friday of June - Skywatch Friday

The sky is very gray and dull today. But there appears to be a lot going on.

All week workers have been replacing the siding of this apartment building in the photo below. I believe the building sustained some water damage and rot as is the case with so many buildings in this city.




The work is progressing quickly and the job looks very nice!

As I walked about running my errands, I saw that another movie is being shot in the neighborhood.

A lot of people were relaxing in these tents.

I've just noticed the wolf ? or maybe it's a coyote? on the banners.

There's some filming going on inside one of the restaurants near the bright lights.


There's always something interesting to look at when you look up.

So Much Beauty ~ Skywatch Friday

I started the day with clear blue skies as in the first photo.

Before night fell, I went to the community garden and was there for a short after doing this and that around the home. Most of the people in the park were dog owners;  taking Fido out for their evening business. Other patrons were clearly reluctant to leave and lingered on to talk or play the guitar and sing.  I enjoyed a mini conference while relaxing nearby to the songstress.






I'd gone to the garden for a bit of weeding and came home with a nice amount of strawberries. Unbeknownst to me my DH had already weeded so I was relieved of my responsibility.  The strawberries were definitely a lot tastier than most purchased at the stores but they were also a lot dirtier. You know you can't really wash berries because they spoil more quickly once moisture gets on them..  I washed and used about half of them right away in a smoothie right away and froze the other half.


Earlier in the day I was doing a whole lot of small jobs that just never seem to get done when there are a mountain of daily, larger chores to do.  I always feel accomplished when I manage to clear away some of the smaller tasks.

I wound all the large skeins of yarn into balls

I also got rid of a lot of packaging materials.

Earlier in the week I captured these beautiful skies.





Thanks so much for stopping by my Skywatch Friday post for this week. Have a wonderful weekend.
