This is an unedited picture of the sky over my house right now. Everything is yellow. It's a combination of wildfire smoke and Sahara dust. We were supposed to be in the upper 90's - 100 today. This is holding the temps way down. So weird. #YellowSky
The old meeting the new. The Parade of Sails brought the tall ships into town for Boston 250. I geek out over this stuff.
Currently docked on the waterfront. Corporate ownership and leases for $80k a week. At that price, the dockage fees become insignificant (and they're very steep right on the boardwalk).
Sea surface temperatures from the early 1980's till now. We were doing a slow boil but the heat has been turned way up. Warmer seas mean bigger and more violent storms. A big thank you to all of the deniers. #ClimateChange
Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli screams 'Sit down, boy!' at Red Sox 1B Wilson Contreras upon striking him out. Brouhaha ensues and benches clear. Contreras is ejected from the game. Cavalli is not. Protesting a racist epithet gets you thrown out, but throw the racist epithet and you get off free.
I have guests coming in for the week. This is my first attempt at Spanakopita. I took the advice of a friend and used a quality, imported feta that was in brine. I also made peach cobbler muffins. The peaches are on the bottom and you flip them over to serve. More of a dessert than breakfast. 🍜 🍽
Team Norway has the most stunning team photos, Embracing their Viking heritage. I have found every Norwegian to be insanely attractive. 😉🤭 #WorldCup #TeamNorway 🇳🇴
This week an estimated 40,000 Scots have taken over Boston for the World Cup. Kilts and the brogue are everywhere. They call themselves The Tartan Army. My better half feels like he's gone home! The bars and restaurants are filled. They'regreat tourists! #Scotland #TheWorldCup #SoMuchFun
Yearly Murmuration of Starlings in Rome are incredibly adaptable songbirds known for their mesmerizing, synchronized aerial acrobatics, exceptional vocal mimicry, and shifting, shimmering plumage
It's hotter than hell here and will be until Sunday or Monday. It's Frozen Chi Chi* time. *A Pina Colada where vodka is used instead of rum. Cuts way down on the sweetness. Always yummy. Come on over and enjoy a beverage! 🍹🧉🍜 #HotHotHot
Growing up in Eastern MA, everyone you knew was either Irish, Italian or a combination of both. Once you leave this area, the change is quite significant.
A very stormy day here yesterday. High winds brought down trees, limbs and leaves all day. A meteor exploded over northeast MA right in the middle of the storm. There was a loud explosion and the house shook for 5 - 10 seconds. I thought a tree had come down on the house. 😳
Last week, a friend and I did a Warbler Walk with Audubon. We went through a heavily wooded area and came across these beauties! Look, but don't touch! They're protected. #PinkLadiesSlippers #Spring
Bags on heads showing up at Fenway last night. The irony is the price of the seats they're sitting in. $$$$$
Jomboy Media (Unofficial)@jomboymedia-mirror.bsky.social · 3mo agoRed Sox fans put paper bags over their heads in the ninth inning of the team’s loss. They were seemingly removed from their seats or told to take the bags off before the inning ended, per @BOSSportsGordo
Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms, sisters, aunties, nonas, best friends, bonus moms, Godmothers, teachers, nurses, caretakers of the earth. To all of the women who nurture; who provide a safe space. Thank you for showing us all what unconditional love looks like. #MothersDay
