Trash day
Yes, it’s true: I will take a picture of anything. (As long as it meets certain criteria that I generally find hard to articulate.)
These trash bins met that standard. I liked how they were almost perfectly spaced and I liked how they tilted down the street to the little bridge over East Bouldin Creek.
But, really: trash bins?

Lutheran, and a field
I spotted this nice little church in my wanderings last spring – that limestone tower was what first caught my attention.
Then I saw how the careful lawn was keeping that field at bay, which for someone who’s more theologically competent than I am might be significant.
And, as I always do when I stop at these country churches, I checked to door in hopes it was unlocked. There have only been a couple of times when I found an open door – this one in Megargel, Texas, and this place in Driftwood, Texas; this place was locked up.
But the disappointment of not being able to see inside was tempered by another look at how the Lutherans keep the lawn.

There may not be anyone at home
But then again, I sort of feel like there could have been someone watching me from behind that partially-opened door.
It was that kind of place.
You’ve seen this town before:
Mailboxes
“Crispy” tacos

Window unit
It’s a little hard to imagine that this small window air conditioner can keep the church cool on a summer Sunday in central Texas, but let’s assume that it does.
And move on to look at the way the only stained glass window remaining on the building is the piece of one under that a/c unit. I loved that part.
