Went out back just now to water what's left of the potted plants on the back porch. There is one huge purple pansy in full bloom, with quite the expressive face! It's about the size of a silver dollar coin. #BloomScrolling #Flower #Pansy #Violet

Just took a fresh batch of vegan yogurt out of the instant pot. Made mostly with cashews, but with some oats added in. #vegetarian #vegan

A glass bowl filled with white yogurt sits on a blue counter top. The yogurt has just been cooked and the top has a texture like bread or a muffin.

Your humble narrator, posing in front of a sign that marks the location of the site of Forbes Field in Pittsburgh PA.

The sign reads...

FORBES FIELD

The first all steel and concrete ballpark in the nation. Forbes Field was home to the Pirates, site of four World Series in 1909, 1925, 1927, & 1960 and two All-Star games. Hosted the Homestead Grays, Steelers, and Pitt Panthers, as well as political rallies and boxing matches. Site of Bill Mazeroski's game seven, ninth inning, game winning, World Series winning home run on October 13, 1960 and Babe Ruth's last 3 home runs. Damaged by fire: razed 1972

The remaining section of the outfield wall of Forbes Field in Pittsburgh PA.

After years of seeing it on TV, I finally stood at the tip of Point State Park at the confluence of the Three Rivers in downtown Pittsburgh PA. This is a panorama I took right from the tip showing all three rivers, two bridges, and the stadium where the Steelers play. #pittsburgh
