Yesterday, the weather was downright balmy in the upper 30s, so I did something I hadn’t done in months: took a walk around the neighborhood.
The girls ate a lot of questionable snow. The dog barked at buses, joggers and a spunky looking shih tzu. I warned the girls about the perils of yellow snow and yelled at the dog. Frequently.
It was like old times.
But NEW old times, because when I strolled by the squirrel lady’s house I was thrilled to discover this:
SNOW SQUIRRELS!!
 |
| There’s even a carrot nose! |
 |
| And a Frosty sweater! And, as if new outfits on my favorite stone rodents weren’t enough as I completed my old route, what did I discover? More old friends!
|
 |
| Parkly deer. One down. |
The Christmas decorations are still out in force at my festive neighbor’s. In addition to the deer, there are elves and glittery presents and Santas. It’s like a scene out of “Elf.” If “Elf” were set at the end of February. During Lent.
Oh quirky neighbors. How I’ve missed. thee.
