a. Happy 2021. We’re still doing Blogfinger although currently from our southern command post. Please send us news to Blogfinger@verizon.net. We have continued our quest for the perfect tomatoes, bagels, and girls in their summer clothes.
Our photography has expanded into a more black and white mode which takes me back to my roots with Leica film cameras starting in the 1970’s. Now they have also gone retro, in a way, by producing high tech cameras that are dedicated to only black and white. I hope to report about that trend another time
b. Photography: To continue our color efforts, here is our idea of a perfect pepper. Eileen helped me with this one. After all, she’s a pepper too.
By Paul and Eileen. A pepper, 4 inches in diameter, and only $1.00 at the farmers market.

So this past October we had a trial run of a curbside sale, and a number of families participated. It was successful and showed that we could do this despite COVID-19 looming about.
Now we know that outdoor activities accompanied by masking and distancing can be rewarding. Look at the restaurant scene in Asbury Park on Cookman. No spike occurred there as far as we know, and people are becoming braver.
So Blogfinger will sponsor the 10th Annual Town Wide Yard Sale on May 8, the Mothers’ Day weekend as always. We will promote it as before, and hope for the best in terms of sellers and shoppers and out-and-abouters. People need to have those happy small town events which we have always promoted to lift the spirits and pride in community.
More information will be forthcoming and fifthcoming.
We will start collecting names and addresses now and tuck them away for May. And, as before, we will promote the event on line at Blogfinger.net and deliver a list of items for sale about a week in advance. Contact us at Blogfinger@verizon.net
