Little Libraries Gone Rogue
22 Feb 2017

Little Libraries Gone Rogue

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

I love the Little Free Libraries around here. But I also love the little lending libraries that take their own path. They pop up with names like “Community Book Exchange.” Or “Take a Book, Leave a Book.” They don’t have … Continued

Expired Holidays

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

It’s the day after Valentine’s Day and the heart flags are still flying happily in the neighborhood. That’s great, because the world needs more love and happiness. I hope they stay up until the end of the week. Oops, did … Continued

Horses in the Neighborhood

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

By the time I was born, this neighborhood was already well-established. But 20 years earlier, a neighbor’s friends asked why he had moved out to the country. There were horses in the neighborhood then, he said. Of course, there were … Continued

Chickens in the Neighborhood

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

I’ve mentioned many times that my neighborhood is smack dab in the middle of Suburbia. Not a farm or barnyard in sight. So it always surprises me to find signs of chicken life. Literally. Signs of chicken life. These two … Continued

Year of the Rooster

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

The Chinese New Year begins on Saturday, when we usher in The Year of the Rooster. Here in the neighborhood, we have always had a fondness for roosters. We put them on mailboxes and fence posts. We put them on … Continued

Breaking the Bank

Breaking the Bank

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

What happens when you tear down the neighborhood bank? Well, this past fall, we had a chance to find out. Apparently, the bank building falls down. But not the bank vault. Three months later, the bank vault is still standing. … Continued

Towers

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

Like many kids, I often wished my house had a tower. Not the princess/royal castle kind of tower, but the hidden staircase/secret room kind of tower. Like a tower you’d find in a Nancy Drew Mystery. One that you could … Continued

Things in Birdbaths that Are Not Birds #2

Things in Birdbaths that Are Not Birds #2

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

Who would have thought this topic would need more than one post? Let’s review. This is a bird in (or at least on) a birdbath. This is not a bird in (or on) a birdbath. That is all.

The Longest Night

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

Tonight is the longest night of the year. Which means that tomorrow, the daylight hours will lengthen just a bit. And the next day will be even longer… Still, if today is feeling too short, and the night too dark, … Continued

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

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

It’s Christmastime and the neighborhood is looking quite elegant. There are silver and gold bows on mailboxes. Scarlet ribbons on lamp posts. Twinkling lights on porch railings. And then there’s the inflatable reindeer flattening Grandma with a steamroller. I love … Continued
