Unleaded (with bonus bird)

The gas-pump soldiers stand ready. But it’s going to be a long wait since the place is out of business.

And, in the meantime, pigeons coo and swirl all around. And, in one case, get caught in the image.

Where it’s always Christmas (even in April)

I am pretty sure you knew I’d try to find a window so I could see inside that church from yesterday.

Carr’s Chapel, 1914

We took a meandering drive the other day and happened across this tiny roadside church. If the plaque on the door is correct – and why wouldn’t it be? – the church has been there for 106 years. That’s a long time for this part of the world.

I am not an especially tall person, but even to me that door seemed really short.

The big parade

It was either one hundred years ago or 5 months ago – I’ve lost track of minor things like that – when I saw this very small parade. It reminded me of “The Big Parade” by the Lumineers. Because of course it did.
