Hello again. Today we are going to wrap up the summer with a tour around the neighborhood. You can expect anything since this will be a random mix of some scenes from the last week.
Our catered brunch is from Tiny Boxwoods in Austin. Our entertainment is the Boss Bruce Springsteen.
Menu
- Our white wine today -Domaine de la Meulière Chablis 2018 – Burgundy, France
- Our red wine today – Château Patrabet Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2016 – Bordeaux, France
- Top-shelf cocktails, soft drinks, endless coffee and tea
The bus is ready.
Our first stop begins a study in trash oddities. A comfy chair is no longer required.
An office chair on the way out.
Looks like work at home took its toll on this one.
Forget the shade.
Now a nice deer family. Mom, dad, and the kids.
“I love my geodome.”
“Mom. Quit scratching and look at that man over there.”
Getting ready for Halloween. Tree of ghouls and giant skeleton.
Whoops, like magic. A one-eyed minion and caldron have been added. We need to come back as the collection grows.
A big ole chunk of celestine on a mailbox.
For those of you who don’t live in the Austin area, the idea of a Tiny Pies moving into your neighborhood means little. But, for us, it is like the 21st century has finally reached our door.
These are, for the most part, one serving pies in savory and sweet selections. (We like to split ours) They do have select family sizes as well. (our favorite is King Ranch Casserole pie)
They are made fresh every day.
They have a take and bake option too. This is the way we used to do it when we had to drive 40 minutes each way. Now they are five minutes away, so maybe we’ll let them bake ours.
I hope you enjoyed the tour, and thank you for your patience while I raved about Tiny Pies. Sit back. Have some food and listen to the Boss.
Fiction Favorites 
We used to have an excellent Cornish Pasty (my favourite was the spicy mince beef filling) shop in town, but sadly, it had to close because of the pandemic, it’s replacement is a Yorkshire Pudding shop where the make and fill them daily with all sorts of fillings.

Wow, can’t believe folks are already decorating for Halloween. Bet they will have the Thanksgiving turkey perched in the yard soon, too. And that Tiny Pies place looks awesome, John. Having such an establishment just 5 minutes from our home would be a killer for my hubby, he of the inveterate sweet tooth…🙄 Have a great Sunday!

I’ve never heard of Tiny Pies before — interesting menu. Even more interesting are the office chairs biting the dust. Golly, it looks as though your neighborhood at least is heading back to the office. If it were me, I’d be hanging onto those chairs a bit longer — ya never know!

As to the trash(cans): here, the ids have to be closed or you risk a fine. And things that are out next to the trash cans are never taken. We don’t have different trash cans, either. There’s no

Happy Sunday, John. I love your photo of the little deer under the geodome. How darling! It brought more than a few smiles, as did some of the chairs. I’d be glad to toss mine as well, but our furniture hasn’t arrived yet and sitting on the floor requires getting back up. 😁
