Candy Cane Street & Library Update

I thought this was neat - all the street lights are wrapped like candy canes.

I went to my 4th library today, the Belle Cooledge branch. It was nice, I found a couple of interesting books: Lands of Promise and Despair and Where I Was From. They were handing out cookies and punch - I assume for the holidays and that they don't do this all the time. Although I guess it's a good way to get people to come back.

So that was my day: a library and candy cane street. As you can tell from the pictures it was raining here today. A lot. It's been a sort of gloomy few days. Maybe next week I'll feel like doing something interesting.

Outside my door

I took these pictures of a bush outside my door. I don't know what kind it is but I thought it looked pretty and Christmasy!
