Urban Gardens

The urban garden can turn a vacant lot into the source of wonderful fresh vegetables. In addition the labor that is used is great for the body of the gardeners. Here is an example of such a plot in the early spring, before planting has taken place.

The artists in the community have added to the setting.

Pre Easter Ride

This Saturday was a beautiful day – sunny, warm, spring like. My wife and I thought that a short trip (high gas prices) was in order. We decided to travel from the southern border of Oakland County, MI to the northwest corner and visit the cute little town of Holly, Michigan. This sleepy little town is filled with antique shop. Here are some of the interesting  things that we saw.

This is a really BIG bear. I was told that it was a Russian Brown Bear.

This comic character was not impressed by the big bear.

She refused to even look at the bear.

 

The next part of the short trip took us south to the village of Milford (and lunch). This Easter greeting just happened to be in a window flower box.

This was an interesting  piece of painted ceramic.

 

And it is not everyday that you see a chopper theme on a whirly gig.
