Gourds or squash, beauty at the dump, and Oh my!

- From the organic garden near the park where I walk on the weekends - these are either gourds or spaghetti squash in a pile, ready for purchase.  Such a lovely and serene place.

- Back at the condos, on Sunday morning, there is beauty, even at the trash compactor area.  Click to enlarge. 

- From Mr. C's sign - well, you get it.  And it made me laugh, while sitting in my car, almost to work in the morning.  

I'm back from vacation and will be by your blogs - I missed you!  Vacation photos later.  :) 

Crape Myrtles, intertwined and the festivies continue

- Seen on my Sunday morning walk up and down the street where I live - it's lovely to see the Crape Myrtle trees blooming now.  This has turned into a nice habit - I only walk this particular route on Sunday morning.  I like it because it's quiet - nothing but the occasional car going by, neighbors coming out in their pajama pants to get the newspaper, sometimes another lone walker.

- I've passed this yard a zillion times, but this is the first time I noticed the intertwined trees there (you might have to click to enlarge to see it.)  I think it's an oak tree and a pine tree (or a tree in the pine family.)  So curious that happened and wonder if it was an accident or on purpose.

- On the last stretch home toward home - a funny sight.  Someone decorated this mailbox for Christmas and then never took the tinsel garland down when the holiday was over.  It used to bug me a little, but now I kind of like it.  :)  And I figure that's how they're telling friends how to find their house quickly, "Look for the mailbox with the garland..."
