A neighbor gifted me her family vinyl collection yesterday, tons of 1960s albums mostly in VG+ or better condition.
Nicest thing anyone has done for me in years!
Some of the first out of the pile!

For the last several years we set aside a small part of our side yard to a pollinator garden. This year it is finally paying off!

Sometimes those old box sets at the estate sales have hidden treasures. The 1960s Liverpool Five are awesome, especially Any Way That You Want Me!

One of the things I like about living near downtown Aurora, IL is the ever-changing opportunities for taking urban photos! Documenting progress in the midst of history.

It took a while, but I finally found a vinyl copy of The Barber of Seville in a pile of vintage castaways - all I can think about listening to it is The Rabbit of Seville, an all-time favorite Looney Tune on a Saturday morning. Like a "Calgon, Take Me Away" moment ... Oh, I am so dating myself, lol!
