i did it! day one of 4-times weekly walking to "work." the morning was crisp and sunny - the very best kind of winter weather.
so the sidewalk could use some shoveling, but it's supposed to warm up in a day or two (or as i call it, "nature's shovel")
sunny today. is there anything prettier than sunlight streaming through branches?
looking west; the garland is still up on the bridge over the channel between lake michigan and our little lake. it makes the christmas feeling last a little longer.
i had to laugh as i took this picture; can you spot the skunk tail antenna decoration?? right across the street from our little boutique - you never know what you're going to see!
I'm also linking up to WIWW at The Pleated Poppy - pic from what i wore yesterday which included a colorful scarf my brother brought me from Abu Dhabit for my last birthday!
i love the historic buildings in my town. i can close my eyes and almost imagine these streets filled as in the 1890s; the ladies wore Gibson Girl pompadours and leg o'mutton sleeved dresses, and the well-heeled gents looked dapper in knee-length topcoats and pearl gray top hats. i'm nothing if not a romantic, but i have to say it wouldn't be worth going back in time just for the sake of well-tailored fashion. victorian life could be freaky. if you want to be really creeped out, check out this gallery of memento mori. (skip the comments though; how a thread can progress from "wow, that's weird and cool!" to calling someone an ignorant racist, i will never know.)
