Dennis the apprentice

Working my way through old New York Timeses (plural?) and happened upon the obit for Cosmo Allegretti, the actor and puppeteer who performed as a menagerie of plush characters on the CBS children’s show “Captain Kangaroo." Brought back many fond memories. though I confess I 'd forgotten that the Captain (Bob Keeshan) lived in the Treasure House. And apparently that wasn't his real hair.

Photos today from yesterday, including a couple still lifes that I call "Darkness" and "Light," another in the ongoing dahlia series (it just gets better & better), and a couple in the "Kitty Beach" series (sightings of the two of them together are very rare, so enjoy).

Get to stay home today - will probably toddle over to the P.O. to mail back a Netflix (enjoyed Van Helsing (not least because we got to see Mr. Jackman shirtless, but 2+ hours of it would have been a bit much so after awhile we skipped to the last 3 scenes), then tootling & stitching & praying the 70+F dewpoints go away soon.
