magidI took a walk Thursday night that included passing this park. I knew it had been under construction, never noticed that it had been finished. It looked interesting, but I didn't have time to explore then, so I promised myself an excursion later. Shabbat afternoon seemed about right.
On the walk over to the park, I saw my first flowers of the season: white snowdrops (some hiding demurely, some huge areas of yards), crocuses (in purple, yellow, white, and violet), and an incipient daffodil or two (though nothing showing just yet). On the walk home, I also noticed two purple mini irises, budding forsythia and other budding trees. Of course this seems rather ironic withthe snow this morning.
I looped around after playing in the park, taking streets I'd not been on before, just meandering.
I found a completely round house, three stories high, totally abandoned. It would take a lot of money to fix it up, but it was fascinating to look as it was. There were some pillars by the front door, making me think of Lady Elaine Fairchild's Museum-Go-Round :-). It would be strange to live in a space where the only straight walls were internal (how to fit furniture in without losing lots of space...), but interesting. It's on a hill, so the views from the top floor are likely pretty good.
I also found some interesting details at other places, a semi-circular front porch at one place, stone mosaics at another. One house was painted in two shades of *bright blue*, rather dazzling, with one red stripe around at the top of the first story. What made it more startling than just the color was that there was a bright blue car in the driveway, with a red strip around its middle...
There were lots of Marys on the half shell, but only a few Jesuses, and those without half shells. Why does Mary need them but Jesus doesn't?
