Q-topia

On days like this Quincy really is utopia.

Looking west from Quincy Junction Road near the High School athletic fields, across American Valley toward Gansner Airfield with snow-covered Spanish Peak in the distance.

a May Zinger

Alternate titles considered:

• May Day
  (distress call: The Summer Solstice is less than four weeks away!)
  
• Gulf Wars
  (Another mass of cold air from the Gulf of Alaska is heading across the continent to do battle with a mass of hot air from the Gulf of Mexico.)
• Bismarck Beware
  (As in North Dakota - see forecast above.)
  (They should be Mindful in Memphis too.)

Quilting B

The local barn quilting enthusiasm has grown and has spread from town (previous post) to actual barns, and to the town blog, and the newspaper.







Also there was a 45° rotation at Ada's Place.

May Ides

I warned you to beware.

Almost Done

The new Learning Resource Center at Feather River College is nearing completion. Ironic that while the building was being constructed the politicos have been deconstructing the educational system around it.

Link to previous construction photo thread, or search campus.

By the Tulips

Just walking by, not tiptoeing through.

Look now because tomorrow it could snow.

Happy Mothers' Day!

Chaenomeles

Quincy's quinces are in bloom all around town.

Mixed Marriage

Actually, they're just living together.

Barn Quilts

I grew up in Pennsylvania, so I know about hex signs and distelfinks and such.

But today, walking to the grocery store with my canvas bag (it is Earth Day after all), I noticed that barn quilts have begun to appear here in Q-topia.

This one is a Japanese lantern motif on the Hop Sing cottage at Ada's Place.

Mike & Valerie caught in the act of "quilting" another Ada's Place cottage.

Con Way

Must be a truckload of convicts on their way to or from the courthouse.

April shovels

You can see where it was; and where it was, it wasn't going to melt any time soon.
