yes, yes they are
I will ABSOLUTELY agree with that sign: every macaron in the case is definitely gluten free.

dancing feet
I was walking toward the mural to get a photo and noticed the reflection in the car window; my trip was halted right then.
Sometimes I can be easily distracted…

nazareth hospital (and barbed wire)
At some point this was a hospital – the Nazareth Hospital – and then at a different point it was abandoned and had sheet metal over some of the windows and a barbed wire fence around it.
Here are some things I learned from the internet.
The place opened in 1937; in 1931 the Holy Sisters of Nazareth purchased it and renamed it. It was used as a hospital until 1970, when a new facility was built. After that, the building was used for a variety of things until it was abandoned in the early 2000s.
And now, for $99 you can spend six (after dark) hours inside the place with “experienced paranormal investigators” and discover the “secrets” of the place. The fact that the website promoting this adventure misspelled “skeptical” makes me, well, skeptical about the whole setup.

which way the wind will blow
The weather was changing: winter was on the way.
But it was 70 degrees when I made the photo of a golden weathervane and an abandoned hospital.

a long nap
On the other side of the creepy building from yesterday’s post, I encountered a raccoon taking a nap. Sort of a permanent one, if you know what I mean.
