There is a season; turn, turn, turn

This tree began this blog and here it is again.
And here are photos from the past three weeks.

Size matters

Big dog.

Small house

with a big screen.

No's

No shit.

No water.

No parking.

No more.

Monday Leftovers on Jackson St.

Windfalls.

Junk on the left. OK, but out of storage space, on the right.

Would have sold for a realistic rather than a sentimental price.

And if i didn't have you as a daughter (son?),
I wouldn't have this piece of ... um, err, ah ... tile.

This garage actually is for sale (along with a house),
but the sink is free.

Willys

If you're lucky, you can sometimes spot the Willys Jeepster in the reserved parking across from the Post Office.

My parents had a 1948 Willys Jeep Wagon, a blue woodie. It's the first car I remember - from before we moved to the suburbs, before brothers; almost until I was allowed to ride my bike to school and they started building interstate highways. We crossed the US several times in it. I got to nap in the back across South Dakota, except of course for the Badlands and Mount Rushmore.

Bulletin Board

Take, read, or just drop it.

A place for everything, and everything in its place; more or less.

Night visitors

One, two, three and more.

Oh scrap

Lora [2] gets a lot of blogger awards because she deserves them, she earns them. Over the years I have been awarded many times for things I've earned [5], and occasionally for things I had nothing to do with other than standing in the right place at the right time [5]. This award is more of the latter than the former, but what you see here is at least honest and it is, for the most part, scrap. So I'm proud to receive it [1].

All of these "awards" are in effect chain letter pyramid schemes that promote the provider of this service - fair enough considering the cost. Awards have "rules" just like chain letters. Rules s'mules; bend them, break them, any way you need them; it's all right. Look below for the rules Lora posted [2].

She bent rule 3 by awarding all The Urbanity bloggers (see the list on the left [4]). These are of course all the ones that I would choose, so I do [3], recursively [4]. But to avoid incest, here are a couple more that deserve an award [4]:

• Kimy for mouse medicine. This is the blog I wish I could write [5], but I don't have her talent [5].
• Neil Tasker for Light and Dark. The name says it all, and he says it in that refreshingly honest and frugal way of a keen-eyed Scot. I "borrow" many of his photos for my screen-saver slide-show [5].

I have lived near where each of these exceptional blogs are authored: Cleveland, Ohio [5] and Dundee, Scotland [5]. This has something to do with why I looked at them in the first place, but little to do with why I keep following them [5].

Two more [5]:

• I have other blogs under a different pseudonym.
• I am in some way or other related to Lora (Well, aren't we all?).

Honest Weblog Award Rules[6]:

1. You must brag about the award.
2. You must include the name of the blogger who bestowed the award on you and link back to that blogger.
3. You must choose a minimum of seven blogs that you find brilliant in content or design.
4. Show their names and links and leave a comment informing them that they were prized with the Honest Scrap Award.
5. List at least ten honest things about yourself.
6. Pass it on with the instructions!
