Happy 2nd Birthday

One-a-Day - Mostly Seattle is two years old today ... my wife helped me celebrate last night with pan seared halibut on a bed of steamed kale and a delicious wine sauce with capers.

Along with the halibut she prepared sautèd vegetables and black-eyed peas. After the main course she gave me this card which pretty well sums up how this blog began two years ago.

Next we shared a fruit tart which she had baked for me yesterday afternoon ... complete with sparkly celebration candles ...

And finally, now that the candles have burned out, is today's photo.

I've driven past Floyd's Place on lower Queen Anne time and again over the past many years. Each time I passed I said to myself "that's a cool sign, I should stop and photograph it." Well, today I did. The cow and pig rotate, continuously dancing with each other. I like the sign. It has life. It's different. Perhaps it is unique. In any case, yesterday I finally scratched an itch that's been with me for a long, long time.

My heartfelt thanks to you, Penny, for all your support, suggestions, counsel and editing. Without your help from time to time my readers would have experienced many more misspellings and sentences that were incomplete. Thank you.

Thank you, too, to all of you who have visited time and again, and for your many, many kind, funny, insightful and interesting comments. Here's to another year!
