Forgot to post the finished project! Luckily I have another Lego and a couple wood kits to get me through to spring #Lego #SpeedChampions #LotusEvija #ChristmasGifts #Pixel7Pro #RideLocalDreamGlobal

Bummed when the holidays end and the kids go home... at least it's the beginning of "Lego Season" and time to build my gifts! #Lego #SpeedChampions #LotusEvija #ChristmasGifts #Pixel7Pro #RideLocalDreamGlobal

Christmas gift/ souvenir from kid's trip to Japan. So many TINY pieces made it much more difficult than expected- but it kept me out of mischief for an hour! #Christmas #Souvenir #Nanoblock #Kaminarimon #ChristmasProjects #ChristmasGifts #Pixel7Pro #Ride

Definitely did not expect another Christmas interrupted by COVID, but we couldn't have asked for a better winter day than today to celebrate outside! #Christmas #Celebration #Presents #covid #NEOhioWinter #WinterSurprise #Pixel7Pro #RideLocalDreamGlobal

Wet snow makes it a bit more "Christmasy" - for the moment, at least #Christmas #ChristmasDecorations #Snow #NEOhioWinter #ChristmasBows #Pixel7Pro #RideLocalDreamGlobal

The glorious sunsets of summer sink into the Great Lake Erie in a blaze of color. This time of year the sun barely touches the water as it ends the day... #Sunset #GreatLakes #LakeErie #LakeMetroparks #LakeErieBluffs #NEOhioWinter #WinterWalks #Pixel7Pro

Loooooong shadows as we approach the winter solstice - though any day with shadows is a good day this time of year! #LongShadows #WinterWalks #SunnyDays #NEOhioWinter #LakeMetroparks #LakeErieBluffs #Shadows #Pixel7Pro #RideLocalDreamGlobal

Each year I'm sure will be this decoration's last outing, yet a bit of hot glue surgery again allows it to take its traditional spot by the garage! Bet my In-Laws never imagined it seeing decades of Christmases when they got it for us!
Ride Local Dream Global - Mike Mekinda:
Well that sure happened fast... Barely a dusting when I got home an hour ago!

The same cute girl who took me to high school prom, a car I couldn't even afford to dream of in those days! There are definite advantages to growing old with the right person! 😎
Ride Local Dream Global - Mike Mekinda:
Saturday brought another bonus day with no road salt and plenty of sun... Monday brings lake effect snow warnings, so back to the garage for the winter...

A fabulous day for finding holiday gifts at Fairport Harbor's Small Business Saturday!

2 cats absolutely NOT diggin' Black Friday! Yearly bath for our indoor cats - both are actually very cool about it, they just try to look as pathetic as possible while they dry! 😸
Ride Local Dream Global - Mike Mekinda:
Definitely looks like a November day at the lake... Happy Thanksgiving y'all!

A little sun, a lotta' wind, and hint of color as we near the end of autumn in NE Ohio
Ride Local Dream Global - Mike Mekinda:
Ah, yes- the old "burrow under the laptop until you're forced to move it and pay attention" operation. Successful, as always, and another morning with little accomplished (for me, at least)! 😸

Spider art...
Ride Local Dream Global - Mike Mekinda:
Still a whole lotta' color here in NE Ohio!

We get only the days we're given, gotta' appreciate those that are particularly good!

Another try at moving a tulip tree sappling from mom's magical gardens to my yard. This one lasted the summer, third try seems to be the one that may last! #TulipTree #MomsGardens #Transplant #NEOhioAutumn #AutumnColors #MyTreeInCle #HoldenPeopleForTrees
