Curiously Intertwined

We got to spend time with each of our GBs

tonight for Halloween.

GB#1.

GB#2, GB#4, GB#5

GB#3

It's time for a new downtown riddle.

The celebration continued today with so many surprises.

I clearly have a thing for small white salt and pepper shakers,

but while they are all technically functional,

they are all terrible at their jobs

unless you like mountains of salt on all your food.

Happy Birthday, indeed, Fireball!

Out my window this morning I spied this glorious view.

The yellow tree is the ginkgo (not my spring favorite, Scott)

which is beautiful both fall and spring.

Behind it, the red tree, is my one remaining Bradford pear

which is my favorite in the spring.

But just now as I am writing this,

it occurs to me that I may have two more trees in the yard

that would surpass the pear for spring favorites.

They would be the redbud (and here) and the pink dogwood.

I love the flowering trees the best.

Here is a bonus fall picture.

After I had already taken the previous picture in the morning,

I saw this in the afternoon. It was too pretty to ignore.

A box came yesterday which neither Fireball or I had any idea of its contents.

It was addressed to him so he opened it and said, " Oh, it's for you."

I guess the packaging was not as he expected.

I told him I would have to find some books to put between the bookends

but that the machine would certainly get longer.

He said that's when it becomes a longarm.
