that bucket of wheels

I do not need one single thing more inside my house. Really. It’s good the way it is.

But if any of you need a big bucket of wheels, let me know and I’ll tell you where these are.

banquet

Baseball game: a detail (that doesn’t involve the actual game).

handbag

I don’t know why there was an old vinyl handbag hanging on the wall of an abandoned building in a tiny, out of the way town.

However, I do know that there was nothing inside of it.

lilies, considered

On the front end of a recent trip, we encountered a cemetery that was home to approximately all the stickers in the entire world; it was in a town called Old Dime Box.

On the way back to the airport at the other end of the trip, we found a well-organized and manicured cemetery; it was in a town called Dime Box.

Go figure.

angel, three twigs, and an ant

 

Here’s a cemetery angel with what appears to be three twigs growing out of her face. There’s a huge ant crawling up her arm but it was the whole chin-twig situation that caused me to make the photo.

And also why do you suppose that angel wings are always depicted in sort of a partially-open pose, like a bird that’s just landed and hasn’t had time to fold away its wings? (Oh, yes: that is actually a thing I wasted some time thinking about. It’s stuff like this that clutters up my mind and distracts me from thinking about things that are important and/or have actual answers.)
