The Interwebz has been in and out on me for the past two days, mostly out, and now that it’s back in, I’m out, or off rather, to bed.
That’ll teach it to stay out late, then expect me be up for it when it finally comes around! No “Ruby Tuesday” for YOU, smart-ass ‘puterbox!!
…well, ok, maybe just a little Ruby Tuesday:
A little peek skyward, and that’s all yer gonna get – now git!
And if you want more, go see Mary!

Autumn in New England + Ruby Tuesday = Just Too Easy!
At the risk of being clichéd (but with a promise to keep it brief,) here’s a single Rubylicious shot of the Deerfield river in Shelburne Falls:
That’s ivy and Virginia creeper on a light pole on, you guessed it, the Bridge of Flowers.
And a promise being a promise, that’s it for now. If you want more of The Ruby, please visit Mary over at Work of the Poet!

Here are a few rubilicious shots from the past few days.
A barn peeks through the rain-soaked woods along a country road:
A farm shed in Cheshire:
Dahlias on the Bridge of Flowers:
Dragonfly wings:
A rainbow in the last light of the day wreaths our barn:
And lastly, sunset in the opposite direction:
Sorry for the hodge-podge of images, but they were all varying degrees of ruby, so I threw them in the pot. 😉

Ruby Tuesday/Dinner With TCR! September 27, 2010

September – Fall colors, crisp nights by the fire, my birthday (!), the Harvest Moon…
And, of course, The Harvest:
…in this case, heirloom tomatoes in our organic garden!
These are among my favorite pleasures as Summer melts into Autumn. Let them come out ugly, cracked, strangely lobed… just let them come out!!
These red and yellow beauties will be great canned and made into sauces, as Miz LuMena does so wonderfully:
…but right now a couple of them are going to join a few of our garden’s other offerings, cilantro, red onion and deep purple hot peppers, in a swim with invited guests Organic Corn and Back Olives; they won’t know they’re in the “deep end” until the olive oil and balsamic vinegar begin to rise around them, and by the time the Gorgonzola crumbles arrive to finish the job, it will be too late for them, and dinner time for me!
With a couple of free-range chicken thighs grilled over an oak fire, this will be a fine easy dinner for a September evening:
…Enjoy!

Just a “quickie” today, a shot of the prayer flags which connect our barn to Heaven and Earth:
Eliot caught both the near flags and the face of the barn in reasonable focus, despite cloudy skies and a stiff breeze.
Gotta love that “tilt” function!

After being in communicado for most of the past week (internet troubles,) Frau B showed up on Saturday and correctly diagnosed the problem as a dead “airport,” apparently not one of Apple’s finer designs…
Anyway, after some scouting around, Lizz hooked up an older unit and we’re back in business.
So here’s a shot from the garden, Rainbow Chard Glowing in Evening Light:

Ruby Tuesday – Caught Red-Handed! August 31, 2010

Ah, an afternoon walk in the garden…
Hey, what’s that munching sound I hear??
Um… Hullo… … This your broccoli? Yeah, guess it must be. Heheh. Sorry. Didn’t think you’d mind if I…
Well, gotta go, see ya!
Actually, he was quite a handsome specimen, and let me get in close for a nice portrait:
Thanks, Little Guy. Munch on!

Ruby Tuesday – Walking The Steel. August 16, 2010
Posted by littlebangtheory in Ruby Tuesday!.Tags: beams, bridges, Ruby Tuesday!, work

My job, highway and bridge layout, ranges from yawns, generally plentiful during the more mundane aspects of rural road surveys, to screams, which can come fast and furiously when in the throes of building a big, complicated bridge.
I’m presently wrestling with a monster, a disintegrating concrete span which looms in a great curve over an iron railroad bridge which in turn spans the concrete channel of the Hoosic river in its transit of the city of North Adams. It’s a virtual Escher’s World of crumbling concrete pillars being “resurfaced” (yeah, and good luck with that! ) and redecked with new steel beams and a new concrete deck.
We’re at the point now of setting the beams on the east side (Stage II) and they are, you guessed it, RED:
The iron workers scurry about up there seemingly unphased; I, on the other hand, move with a great deal of care and caution, much to their amusement:
That’s not me, but you get the idea – and it gets a good bit higher by the time it crosses the railroad tracks.
I’ll be spending the better part of the next few weeks walking the steel, with the spaces between the beams being gradually filled in with “pans” for the upcoming concrete pours.

Took a short walk today on Shelburne Falls’ famous Bridge of Flowers.
It was Rubylicious!
The air was cool and calm, the light subdued:
The Coneflowers were popping, much to the delight of plentiful honey- and bumble-bees:
Begonias begged at my ankles:
But the Big Dogs on this day were the Dahlias, which fairly hijacked the place:
Big as saucers and saucy as hell:
And yeah, they came in other colors… but then, they wouldn’t be Ruby, now would they?

At the risk of boring you all, here are a couple more from the Shelburne Falls Bridge of Flowers.
A Scarlet Ruby begonia:
…and a blossom of Crocosmia, here of the cultivar Lucifer:
…both boldly rubilicious.
