In My Life



A new mural on the back wall of the PTO Thrift Shop. Shared with Monday Murals.

Dinner at Totoro Restaurant: sashimi, teriyaki salmon, chicken katsu.


Beautiful concert by pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason: works by Hayden, Chopin, Clara Schumann, Carl Nielsen.

New Bruno Chief of Police fiction: A Grave in the Woods by Martin Walker.
Historic fiction by Mexican writer Álvaro Enrigue: You Dreamed of Empires.
Especially good: more Icelandic Noir. Reykjavik by Jonasson and Jakobsdottir.

Fascinated by the Nobel Literature Prize to Han Kang announced this week.
I reviewed The Vegetarian a few years ago:

A Walk Along the River

Railroad bridge that I often photograph.

One determined kayaker!

October Sky with Pigeons

Art Fair and Farmers’ Market Downtown

“ArtoberFest” in downtown Ann Arbor October 12-13.

Halloween themes — crows and spiders on mugs and plates.

Pumpkin ceramics.

More goofy mugs for Halloween or any time. Also for Elizabeth’s Tuesday Tea.

Spooky mugs

Lots of pumpkins & gourds at the Farmers’ Market.



Autumn theme on the window of a cafe near the market.

I’ve covered so many recent events in my life that I’m sharing this as a second post for Sunday Salon!

The downtown market looks like a great spot to spend an hour or two.

The mural is colorful and pretty. The river views are lovely.
I have seen pigeons lined up on the wires, they have good balance.
The art festival looks fun! Take care, have a great day and a happy new week!

What a great post! Something for every interest. The Kanneh-Mason family are a huge resource of musical talent.
