Remanufactured?
Sunday, 20 September 2015
I’ve been on a pasta kick lately, especially these mini-raviolis, here with bacon, arugula, fresh basil, and leftover broccoli florets.
Musings
Placid foliage
Saturday, 19 September 2015
Encountered tourists when leaving the bakery. They were “swimming against the tide” coming in the “wrong” door. Eating ice cream. Must be tourists. Or from Cobb County.
Nothing much to this shot, but my mind keeps coming back to it…the very different shadow-shapes of the ivy and grass.
Yeah, foliage is just leaves, and not mushrooms. Vegetation would be more appropriate. But too many syllables. And that is all.
Building fact and surmise

Buildings hold stories.
Not sure about this one’s. The building’s been remodeled at least twice. Built in the late 1800s, the first refurbishment I know about was in the CCC days. The second was…after the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes” was shot…. The bench-pews are original. The tin ceiling. The supports for the balcony. The carpeting, other woodwork, light fixtures…replaced in the last go-round.
Exterior paint is fresh, yet the ever-present arachnids are fast to recolonize.
Braile and everything on this helpful sign: “Stair” (and nothing more). Meets federal requirements.
Pike County is not the most prosperous; hence, the brick exterior and wood-not-stone details inside. The main entry door does have a covered portico with marble-square flooring; so, they did work some in, maybe in the 1930s.
For or against

My best image today: a picket fence shadow. No symbolism, just the (simple) geometricality of light-dark patterns.
Meanwhile, over in KW-land, consider knuckle wrinkles….
Me, I’m in favor of them…functional, and evidence of continued functionality, as KW indicates.
I’m not sure; am I off my feed? Not based on the rice-salad-stir-fry concoction I created and we enjoyed tonight…my knuckles in action….
Wordy and knotty

Just a software upgrade…and yet the agree/disagree text reads like a typical oblique 21st-century fortune-cookie-fortune.
My bit of wisdom today, or my attempt at that: this world is as entwined and interlaced as these magnolia roots.
The blues?
Tuesday, 15 September 2015
To the best of my recollection, today was one of those flitting days…flitting from one thing to the next, and at the end, I hardly feel like I did anything.
Not the grocery shopping.
Not the laundry.
Not the…yikes. Tomorrow!
Slow news day
Monday, 14 September 2015
Ginger blossom.
Learned new vocabulary today: fipple and aerophone. Fortunately for me, they’re related.
Only one branch is predicting autumn’s arrival.
In other news, I found hints of fall in a neighborhood tree…
…and saw the critter that the exterminator removed from a neighbor’s house.
Personification
Sunday, 13 September 2015
There’s plain concrete…with a surface treatment (swab swoop?).
Here’s a different, knobbly concrete…with a decorative nut-husk.
On the other hand, this is a mailbox with living, green neckwear.
Spellbound
Saturday, 12 September 2015
The adult entertainment tonight was the lantern parade…great skellies! We watched from above for an hour as the parade slowly passed by…then descended to parade level for the last 15 minutes or so of parading. That’s a long parade!
Okay, well, the Beltline stretches it out…at best three paraders could walk abreast…meant the bands were stretched out, too.
Meanwhile, the favorite kitty entertainment, after eating and begging for food, is a catch-the-digital-mousie iPad game.
Moisture results
Friday, 11 September 2015
I’ve never seen anything quite like this…the water meter for a house in the neighborhood looks like it…overflowed with coagulating white…stuff. Strange.
Lots of rain lately, and that does alter the species assortment that is presently ascendant…also the dominant smells when there’s no breeze. Eau de decomposition.
I’m hearing duo iPhone purchase noises around here…the deals start at midnight! Must decide…what color?
