Sunday Sunset - Wires & Doors

 Taken from behind our kitchen door.

“I framed the world from indoors, and it didn’t mind.”

“A sunset is the sky tucking the world in.”

The Chain

 Quite a few of you knew the answer to yesterday's post! It is called a Rain Chain, which I had never heard of.

It guides water from the roof instead of a downspout. A decorative alternative to a downspout. This is the only one I have ever seen.

A rain chain is a necklace the house wears for the weather.

Mysterious

 Time for another post where you guess what I saw. What do you think this is? My answer on the next post.

“It didn’t explain itself, which made me like it more.”

Highlanders

 Seems like there is always a new craze. A few years back, it was Gnomes. And now it is Highland Cows!! They are everywhere! On clothes, paintings, kitchen things, cushions, etc. Have you seen them? Do you like them? Here are just a few I have seen in stores.

“A highland cow is a creature stitched from fog, moss, and ancient magic.”

In The Pink

 My birthday was this weekend. On Friday we had to call 911 for an ambulance for me. Back home the next day, Phil was not well and I had to call 911 for him!!! We are both back home and hopefully in the pink now.

After all of this, you can imagine what a hopeful sign was seeing these pink trees today! The first ones I have seen in bloom!!

“Be like a tree. The tree gives shade even to him who cuts off its boughs.”

The Answer

 Here is the answer to what my net photo really is. It's a backyard sports practice net. I was so glad that most of you did not know what it is, just like me!!

It is used for pitching practice, fielding drills, etc.

The dome shape keeps it stable and gives a big catching surface.

“A practice net is where effort echoes until it becomes skill.”

Mystery Net

 A few blocks away, we happened to pass this in front of a house. I honestly had no idea what it is, but I bet you do. Let's see if there are any others who are as clueless as I am. The answer on my next post.
