On a Stroll
by
I went for a walk today, taking advantage of yet another beautiful day in New Orleans. On my walk, I saw some things that stood out:
- Six (6!) For Sale signs in yards. That’s a lot for the three streets I walked.
- One Mardi Gras ladder (click here if you don’t know what this is). Yeah, you rite.
- Older neighbors playing a round of the Washers Toss Game. I had to Google what they were doing as I had never seen it before.
- Many homes nicely decorated for Halloween. That’s not the thing that stood out. What stood out was the one neighbor that painted black, white and green polka dots and/or stripes on their pumpkins and the other neighbor that was installing his Christmas lights on his eaves. Yeah.
It was good getting to ground-level and seeing the neighborhood so up-close. I need to get back in the habit of doing it regularly.
I’ve been surprised at how many ‘for sale’ signs have gone up in my neighborhood too.
Christmas!? There should be a moratorium on any December holiday paraphernalia until after Thanksgiving.

We have a washers game! My father-in-law made it for us. It’s so fun!
I am not nearly ready to start thinking about Christmas! It’s not even Halloween!

I didn’t know what a washers game was either! That is a lot of ‘for sale’ signs in a small area. Where we live, in a neighborhood of about three streets with two shorter streets as borders, there are several houses for sale and three or four that have gone back to the bank. It’s so sad to see the beautiful homes getting run-down and the yards over-grown. Then next door you’ll see a house all decorated for halloween. No Christmas decor yet—there should be rules about that
