Banners & Flowers

 We were in the parking lot of a shopping center and saw these banners. We drove over to check it out.


It was very festive, and there were raised plots of pretty flowers across the front.




What could it be? A garden center, or maybe a farmer's market. But no, it was a Mexican restaurant!! I never would have guessed.


“The whole place feels like a fiesta waiting to bloom.”

The Dragons

 Going inside the large new orthopedic building, we saw this on a check-in desk.


Little Dragons!


And each one had a note introducing himself and wishing the patients a good day.


The man at the desk said he bought them to help ease the stress of visiting the doctor, and to add some whimsy. And kids love them.


He also had this large resin rock-like thing that had flying dragons inside of it!


I checked out Amazon, and they sell some. This one is a girly-girl dragon!


“Dragons are the heartbeat of old mountains.”

Unfinished & Finished

 You may remember awhile ago, I posted this mural on the side of a building.


Turns out, it wasn't finished! We drove past it again, and this is what we saw.


“Even unfinished art glows with the promise of becoming.”

The Longest Day

 Today is the first day of summer, the longest day of the year! And the Big Bull was ready!


He is all ready for a swim.






The Big Cat, on the other hand, chose to be very understated.


And so it goes on the first day of summer here.

“Time loosens its grip, letting the day wander where it pleases.”

A Wandering Ember

The front of the doctor's office building had a long row of Milkweed!

Butterflies love Milkweed and lay their eggs on it.

The bees love it too.

And then I spotted a couple Great Spangled Fritillary!



“She flies like a flame that refuses to burn out.”

Too Cute To Stay Buried

 We happened to pass this last week. I couldn't believe my eyes! Especially since Easter is way in the past! Nevertheless, for your enjoyment...an Easter Bunny Skelton. Right in someone's small front yard.
