Year of the Rabbit

Year of the Rabbit

by Lucy | posted in: Holidays, Neighborhood, Walkabout Wednesday, Winter | 0

Excuse me while I use a big word. Crepuscular. That’s the word for animals that are active at twilight. Like rabbits. When my oldest was little, she hated being confined in a stroller. So instead of saying we were going … Continued

Stick People in Winter

by Lucy | posted in: Neighborhood, Walkabout Wednesday, Winter | 0

Our neighborhood is filled with stick people. They’re just like the rest of us, really. Except in the winter. Then, they’re apparently more accident-prone.

The Color Red

The Color Red

by Lucy | posted in: Holidays, Neighborhood, Walkabout Wednesday | 0

The showiness of summer flowers is long gone, and the flamboyance of fall leaves has faded away. That leaves us with the winter landscape. In this world of bare limbs and gray skies, red stands out. It’s just that bright … Continued

Oh Deer

Oh Deer

by Lucy | posted in: Holidays, Neighborhood, Walkabout Wednesday, Winter | 0

Classiest Week at the Curb

Classiest Week at the Curb

by Lucy | posted in: Fall, Holidays, Neighborhood, Walkabout Wednesday | 0

The week after Halloween is always the saddest week at the curb. All the streets in the neighborhood are lined with discarded Jack-o-lanterns. Some are funny. Some are strange. But mostly, they’re just old and tired and sad. The week … Continued

Second Least Scary?

Second Least Scary?

by Lucy | posted in: Fall, Holidays, Neighborhood, Walkabout Wednesday | 0

I’ve already pointed out the least scary Halloween decoration in the neighborhood. This has to be the second least scary. Minnie Mouse as a vampire. Not the least bit convincing. Sorry.

Well, well, who do we have here? Is it Marcelle? Nope. It’s still Not Marcelle.

Mushrooms #2

by Lucy | posted in: Fall, Neighborhood, Walkabout Wednesday | 0

It’s time to play the mushroom game again. These are a few of my favorite neighborhood mushrooms. Can you spot which ones are real and which ones aren’t?

The Sunflower Trail

The Sunflower Trail

by Lucy | posted in: Neighborhood, Summer, Walkabout Wednesday | 0

What a wonderful surprise in the neighborhood! Someone made a sunflower trail for us to follow. Pot after pot of sunflowers, lining the road for blocks. There must have been a reason for it … but then again, maybe not. … Continued
