Favorite Picture of the Week

 
This week I thought I would share some of the things I saw while I was out on a walks with Falcor. 

That Pine tree is actually in my courtyard. When I first moved here 25 years ago, it was shorter than the top of the roof. Now it's so tall. 

Then I realized while I was taking that Pine Tree picture that the clouds in the background looked kinda cool. That tan building is my apartment building. I've been told it looks like prison housing. lol 

Someone left a note on a piece of cardboard on a light pole that said, "Kindness & courtesy were the masters style."

There has been a lot of road construction going on my street this past week. They have been starting at 6am, so I've been getting up early. They dug up the ground right around the corner to the left. 

Someone had an inflatable bouncy house in their backyard for a couple of days. Sounded like they were having a fun party. The kids sure were having fun.

  1. A message from "the master" to all the loonies your area has to put up with, perhaps?

    People probably think the apartment building looks like a prison because the windows are so small and high up. That's unusual for an apartment building, but since it seems to be set right on the sidewalk with no open ground in between, if you had regular big windows you'd constantly have pedestrians looking right at you from from the outside just a couple of feet away.

    1. I don't know who the master is or who wrote that but it seemed like some kind of message.

  2. Actually, looking at the full-size version of the photo, I see there's some space between the sidewalk and the building, but not much. Based on the size of the bicycle, the windows at least seem high enough that it would be hard for a person outside to look in.

    1. Yeah there is a little space between the windows and the sidewalk. And you do have to be taller than me to be able to walk up to the windows and see in really well. At least that's something.

  5. It does always look like a prison LOL

    1. I know it does. Even one of Ken's physical therapists said that. lol

      I wanted to when the price went up but the other apartment complexes raised their rent as well so this is still a cheap place for rent right now.

  6. I wish that bouncy house had been around when I was a kid in the 70s. I hope that you have a great week!

  7. We could certainly do with a bit more kindness and courtesy. The Master has the right idea.

  9. It's nice. I would have loved to have an inflatable bouncy house like that when I was young

  10. For some reason, my post didn't post... I was wondering what kind of pine that was, thinking it would need a lot of water to grow in Vegas, as pines in the high desert are generally only found above 4500 feet. I like the sign!

    1. I don't know what kind of Pine it is but they hardly ever get watered and only one of them has died.

  11. Kindness and courtesy- so disgustingly lacking these days. Say, do they make bouncy houses for adults? Just a thought. Happy Thanksgiving, Mary.

  13. Lovely pine tree! Lots of road construction, everywhere!
    What for? Aren't they going to reduce car traffic as demanded by climate change?

    1. Reduce traffic? No, that's never going to happen.
