It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Tuesday, April 29, 2008
The weather was gorgeous today, so Scout and I spent a lot of time outside. We played in the yard for a while and then went for a walk around the neighborhood. I brought the camera along so I could snap random pics. Yes. I was THAT bored.

Here is Scout just as we were setting out on our journey. She is waving "Hi".

Waving Hi!


Here is our new-to-us car chillin' in the side yard. It's a '92 Buick somethin'-er-other. It's in decent shape and was FREE. (DH's older sister and husband can't drive anymore due to medical problems, so they gave it to us) It's not the fanciest ride in the world, but hey, it's a lot less embarrassing to drive than MY CAR.
Our "New" Ride


Our freshly mowed lawn.



The town square.

Why do these people need so many satellite dishes? Just sayin'.



Pretty Irises

Pretty Purple Irises



There is a sidewalk in front of the high school with all the graduates' names engraved in it. At the end of my pregnancy, I'd walk the neighborhood almost every day and when I went down the graduate walk, I used to slow down to peruse the names to get some baby name inspiration. Wow. I see I overlooked some really good ones, like: Wilda Sue, Homer, Mable, Dortha, Verda, and Lowell.



In case you didn't know, it's classy to stick fake flowers in a pot of dirt outside your door.




I don't know if you can read the signs, but this store a block from my house sells jelly beans, canned tuna, porcelaine figurines, satellite t.v. service, computer repair, and cell phone service. Um. What?



And finally, back at the house, we have DH's 80's moped

Thanks for the tour....that was fun!!!! (I'm being serious, not sarcastic. I really enjoyed that) Your posts almost always make me smile. I say almost because of the seriousness of the previous post about Scout. I am so glad you were quick on your toes, did the right thing and that God was watching over your precious family.
