A Note About This Blog

I used to be a writer. Unpublished, but a writer just the same. I have several 100,000 word novels sitting on my hard drive. Then I fell off a horse and got a concussion that scrambled my brains really good (yes, I was wearing a helmet.) After that forming a written sentence was very difficult for quite some time. It's still difficult, but at least now generally the sentence structure isn't egregiously flawed. Verbally and written wrong words pop in, I switch words around, and sometimes I make no sense at all. It isn't because I don't have knowledge of grammar and punctuation, but my brain simply can't do it sometimes. Reading this blog you're accepting that there's going to be things that look like typos or make no sense. It's not because I don't proofread, it's because my damaged brain doesn't see what's wrong. I try my best, but things will slip through. I don't need them pointed out, I know they're there, but if I continued to worry about them I wouldn't write at all. I didn't for quite some time. It's painful as a past master of words to use them so badly, but fortunately the words don't seem to mind.

Connecticut Part 3: More New York

Keeping on with our water theme, we started this day with a trip to Lockport to the Erie Canal (you know, the one where you sing about the low bridge, everybody down, low bridge cause we're coming to a town.) And, shockingly, there were locks in Lockport

Lock empty

Lock almost full
Doors opening so the boat isn't trapped in there forever
In Lockport there's a church with Tiffany windows. They were gorgeous

I really think these angels look like hippies


Then we went to the Great Behre Swamp (we like swamps.)








And then another church, Our Lady of Victory Basilica (my mom's religious, I am not.) But regardless, this place was seriously impressive.

I love this ceiling (or vaulting, if I'm using my college education.)





And then we went to the Erie-Buffalo Botanical Garden
Best topiary ever
