POTD: Cute Church

Posted on March 27, 2020 Updated on July 31, 2020

I’m not sure if this is a bird house that someone put on the ground, temporarily or if it is just a piece of yard art. It’s lovely either way. ~Vic

I had intended to post my museum pictures but, I’ve been too busy. I thought this might be a Bluebell but, it isn’t. I’m still trying to identify it. ~Vic

Out on a neighborhood walk, I couldn’t help but admire the mosaic handywork, along with the bird and flower. It’s definitely an original. ~Vic

POTD: Old Hydrant

Posted on March 2, 2020 Updated on July 31, 2020

This comes under the heading of “things you don’t see everyday.” I was out on a walk around our old cotton mill complex and stumbled across it. I have no idea how old this thing is but, it appears to have been manufactured in Tennessee. ~Vic

POTD: First Snow 2020

Posted on February 21, 2020 Updated on October 4, 2023

As I was posting last weekend of no snow this year, I spoke too soon. We got about three inches, yesterday. It started rolling in around 4:30 or 5:00pm. There is a little bit left but, the higher accumulations were east of here. ~Vic

FFTD: Prickly Beast

Posted on February 19, 2020 Updated on July 21, 2020

These things are pretty to look at but, you don’t want to step on one of them, barefooted. I’m always reminded of the Return of the Jedi sand monster Sarlacc. ~Vic

POTD: All Seeing Eye

Posted on February 13, 2020 Updated on July 31, 2020

This was propped up against a building in downtown, about two blocks from my house. I was out for an afternoon walk and it was an unusual sight. It’s no longer there and I have no idea who it belonged to, who put it there or…where it went. I found it creepy but, took a picture of it, anyway. ~Vic
